High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Whole30 Smoked Paprika Turkey and Sweet Potato Hash
Smoky, hearty, and packed with color, this skillet dish brings together golden sweet potatoes, seasoned ground turkey, and a bold spice blend that makes every bite feel deeply satisfying. The smoked paprika and cumin do serious heavy lifting here, giving the whole pan a warm, almost campfire-like depth without any sauces or condiments that might sneak in unwanted sweeteners. That's the real win for anyone avoiding high fructose corn syrup — so many store-bought spice blends, hot sauces, and packaged seasonings quietly contain it, but this recipe builds all its flavor from scratch using whole spices and fresh aromatics. Red bell pepper and baby spinach fold in naturally, adding brightness and a little nutrition boost that doesn't feel forced. The eggs cooked right in the skillet are the finishing touch — nestled into wells in the hash and covered just long enough to set the whites while keeping the yolks a little runny. It's a one-pan situation that comes together with minimal cleanup and maximum payoff, whether you're serving it for a weekend brunch or a quick weeknight dinner. Fresh parsley on top pulls everything together and makes it look like you actually tried.

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.
