Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Beans
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 cups kale, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Smoked Turkey and Cheese
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, thinly sliced
- 4 slices smoked turkey slices, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Oils and Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking. Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop kale, onion, and garlic. Thinly slice smoked turkey bacon and smoked turkey slices.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Smoked Turkey Slices: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked turkey bacon and smoked turkey slices. Cook until golden brown and crispy around the edges. Remove from skillet and set aside, leaving the flavorful oil and drippings in the pan.
- Sauté the Aromatics and Sweet Potatoes: Using the same skillet, add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking until sweet potatoes soften and develop a slight char, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add the Black Beans and Kale: Once sweet potatoes begin to soften, stir in the black beans and kale. The kale will wilt quickly. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to brighten and balance the flavors.
- Combine Everything and Add Plant-Based Cheese: Return the crispy smoked turkey bacon and smoked turkey slices to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Sprinkle plant-based cheese on top, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt, binding the hash with the natural gelling agent.
- Final Taste Check and Serve: Taste the hash and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional apple cider vinegar as desired. Serve warm and enjoy a hearty breakfast.
Notes
- Use medium heat to cook sweet potatoes slowly, ensuring tenderness without burning.
- Dice sweet potatoes and chop kale evenly for consistent texture and cooking.
- Do not skip the apple cider vinegar; it brightens and balances the dish.
- Cover the skillet when melting cheese for a creamy, gooey texture.
- Cook smoked turkey bacon and slices separately to control crispiness and keep pan flavors for vegetables.
