Whole 30 Whole30 Garlic-Herb Turkey Sweet Potato Hash

This one-pan skillet is the kind of meal that makes weeknight cooking feel genuinely exciting — golden sweet potato cubes, savory ground turkey, and a fragrant hit of smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary all coming together in under 30 minutes. The sweet potato gets a proper sear before anything else hits the pan, so you end up with caramelized edges and tender centers rather than a mushy pile. Ground turkey is broken into small pieces and cooked through before being folded back in with the vegetables, which means every forkful has a little of everything. Scallion greens and minced garlic go in at just the right moment — long enough to bloom but not so long that they burn — and that detail makes a real difference in the final flavor. Every single ingredient here is compliant with the program's rules, so there's no label-reading or substitution stress involved. It serves four, making it a solid option for meal prep or a family dinner straight from the skillet. A handful of fresh parsley scattered over the top at the end adds a bright, clean finish that pulls the whole dish together.

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
4 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced

½ tsp dried thyme

Instructions

1
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the diced sweet potato in a single layer, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the undersides are golden. Stir and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender when pierced with a fork and browned on most sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, for 6–8 minutes, until cooked through with no pink remaining and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer the turkey to the plate with the sweet potato.
