Chicken Free Whole30 Smoked Paprika Turkey and Sweet Potato Hash
This skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that makes weeknight cooking feel genuinely exciting — smoky, hearty, and loaded with color from sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and wilted spinach. Ground turkey does all the heavy lifting here, seasoned with smoked paprika, cumin, and a hint of cayenne so every bite has real depth and warmth. The sweet potatoes get golden and just-tender in avocado oil before everything comes together in layers, which means you're building flavor at every step rather than just dumping and stirring. Eggs are nestled right into the finished hash and cooked in the same skillet, so the whole dish lands on the table with minimal cleanup and maximum payoff. It's fully compliant with Whole30 guidelines — no grains, no dairy, no legumes, nothing sneaky — just clean, real ingredients that happen to taste incredible together. If you've been burned by bland turkey dishes before, the spice blend here is the fix; it transforms lean ground turkey into something genuinely craveable. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve straight from the pan for a breakfast, brunch, or dinner that earns its place in the regular rotation.

4 servings
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb total), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ¾ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
- 4 large eggs
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat 2 tbsp of the avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and cook, stirring only every 2–3 minutes, until golden on the outside and just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- 2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the ground turkey to the same skillet and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until no pink remains and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion reads 165°F (74°C), about 6–7 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to the plate with the sweet potatoes.
