Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bacon slices
1 medium onion (chopped (6 oz))
1 lb. frozen bell pepper strips (thawed in the microwave and well-drained*)
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt ((or 1/2 teaspoon fine salt))
1 tablespoon minced garlic ((6 cloves))
1 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
3 cups cooked turkey breast (diced (16 oz))
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, turning often, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn the heat off. Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon and set it aside.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon's rendered fat in the skillet. Use about a teaspoon more to grease a nonstick skillet where you'll later fry the eggs.
  • Heat the cast-iron skillet back on medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are golden, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the turkey meat. Cook, stirring, for about two minutes. Turn the heat off but leave the skillet on the burner. Cover the skillet with a lid or with foil to keep the hash warm while you fry the eggs.
  • Divide the hash between four plates. Sprinkle the bacon crumbles on top, then top each plate with an egg. Season the eggs if you wish (I like to use salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried parsley). Serve immediately.

LEFTOVER TURKEY HASH



Leftover Turkey Hash image

This Thanksgiving, we're thinking up lots of creative ways to repurpose those leftovers (and feed the family for days on end). Because let's face it, turkey sandwiches can get old, especially when they're all you've been eating for three days straight. But don't worry. We've got a new way for you to bring life to that leftover turkey. Turn the leftover bird into a hearty breakfast everyone will gobble up with our Day-After-Thanksgiving Turkey Hash.The heart and soul of this recipe is the potatoes, which are cooked in bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet until lightly brown. Onions, bell peppers, and garlic are added to form a dynamic (and colorful) hash. A splash of red wine vinegar might seem unusual, but it adds a tangy note and helps balance out the richness of the bacon. Pair the leftover shredded turkey with hot, crumbled bacon for double the fun (in this dish, a little bacon grease brings a big punch of flavor). Fry up some sunny-side eggs to top the hash and you've got a whole meal in one skillet.

Tips:

  • Use day-old turkey: This will help the turkey to crisp up better in the hash.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the turkey will steam instead of fry and it will not get crispy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the turkey from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the turkey hash well: Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, to give the hash flavor.
  • Serve the turkey hash with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include eggs, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.
  • Make a breakfast burrito with turkey hash: Simply wrap the turkey hash in a tortilla with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
