**Sweet Potato Hash with Turkey Sausage**
A hearty and flavorful breakfast or brunch dish that's easy to make and packed with nutrients. The sweet potatoes provide natural sweetness, while the turkey sausage adds a savory touch. The bell pepper and onion add color and crunch, and the garlic and spices give it a boost of flavor. Top it off with some fresh parsley for a bright and herbaceous finish!
This recipe is inspired by the classic Southern breakfast dish, breakfast hash. Traditionally, breakfast hash is made with corned beef, but we've given it a healthy and flavorful twist by using lean turkey sausage instead. Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber and vitamins, and they add a natural sweetness to the dish. Bell peppers and onions add color and crunch, and the garlic and spices give it a boost of flavor. Fresh parsley adds a bright and herbaceous finish to the dish.
This recipe is also incredibly easy to make. Simply brown the turkey sausage in a skillet, then add the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and spices. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
