This hash starts with the sweet potatoes, which need the longest cooking time, then builds up with onion, garlic, and ground turkey until everything's browned and fragrant in one skillet.
Sticking to ground turkey, sweet potatoes, and simple aromatics keeps this dish squarely within a paleo way of eating, with no grains or dairy needed to round it out. Smoked paprika and cumin give it a warm, slightly smoky backbone that makes it taste like more than the sum of its parts. It works just as well for breakfast as it does for a quick dinner, and leftovers reheat easily the next day.
