Xanthan Gum Free Whole30 Smoked Paprika Turkey and Sweet Potato Hash
This skillet is the kind of one-pan meal that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation — smoky, hearty, and loaded with color from sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and wilted spinach. Ground turkey gets seasoned with smoked paprika, cumin, and a touch of cayenne, building layers of warmth that make every bite feel intentional rather than thrown together. The sweet potatoes are crisped in avocado oil until golden at the edges and just tender inside, giving the hash that satisfying contrast of textures you want from a proper skillet dinner. Everything comes together in a single pan, and the eggs are nestled right into the hash at the end and cooked to a just-set finish — no extra dishes, no fuss. For anyone navigating a Whole30 reset or simply avoiding processed additives, every ingredient here is straightforward and clean, with zero need for thickeners or stabilizers of any kind. The spice blend does all the heavy lifting, so the dish tastes deeply seasoned without relying on anything packaged or questionable. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve straight from the skillet for a breakfast, brunch, or dinner that genuinely delivers.

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.
