Turkey Apple Breakfast Hash

Adapted from Fed and Fulfilled

My sweetie is allergic to eggs and has high protein needs. Together, these two factors create a complicated breakfast equation. Inspired by some a meal planning project Tara and I have been working on for our upcoming Elimination Diet Group, I made this breakfast hash last weekend. It was delicious! I added more veggies - couldn't resist! - so have added my variations to the recipe below. This made 4 generous servings and reheated very well, which is a promising feature for batch cooking and weekday breakfasts. Try it and let me know if you made any personal revisions that inspired you.

Ingredients (meat):

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme (I love thyme so actually used 2 tsp)
• 1 + 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Ingredients (veg): ​

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 2 small zucchini
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 2 cups cubed butternut squash (frozen is fine!) or sweet potato 
• 1 large apple, cored and chopped
• 4 cups chopped kale or other leafy green
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Season with thyme and cinnamon. Move to a plate. 
2. Melt 1 Tbsp coconut oil in the same skillet. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, until softened. 
3. Add zucchini, carrots, apple and squash. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are soften. 
4. Add the kale, cover and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Stir in cooked turkey, remaining seasonings, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well and serve hot.
