Sweet Potato Turkey Hash
Keep this recipe handy for Thanksgiving leftovers. Since it had eggs, which the kids like, and sweet potatoes along with the turkey for an easy one-pot meal, we decided to try it early.
The kids ate a good bit of it, especially the poached eggs. The sweet potatoes get nice and crispy, which makes this a good dish for brunch or dinner.

Sweet Potato Turkey Hash
Serves 4
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch dice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 pound skinless cooked turkey breast, cut into ½-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground black or white pepper
4 large or extra-large eggs
Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the potatoes are just barely tender. Drain well and set aside.
Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for about 5 minutes, until lightly brown. Add the drained sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring with a spatula, for about 8 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are browned and crispy. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the cooked turkey; season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes, to heat the turkey.
Make 4 depressions (3 inches in diameter each) into the hash and break 1 egg into each. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the eggs are firm and cooked to the desired degree of doneness. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Cut the hash into 4 portions and serve immediately.
