Nutmeg Free Whole30 Smoked Paprika Turkey and Sweet Potato Hash

Smoky, hearty, and packed with color, this one-skillet hash brings together golden sweet potatoes, seasoned ground turkey, and wilted baby spinach in a way that feels like serious comfort food without any of the usual compromises. The spice blend — smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and a touch of cayenne — does all the heavy lifting here, building deep, layered flavor without a trace of nutmeg or any warm spice that tends to sneak into hash and sweet potato recipes uninvited. That matters more than you might think, since nutmeg shows up in a surprising number of savory dishes, especially anything featuring sweet potatoes or ground meat. Every ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can cook with confidence. The eggs are cracked right into wells in the skillet and cooked until the whites are just set, giving you that satisfying runny yolk moment without any extra pans to wash. Red bell pepper and scallion greens add brightness and a little crunch, keeping the whole dish from feeling heavy. It's the kind of meal that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a quick weeknight dinner.

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

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.
