Sweet Mexi-Hash

So I had use up 1/2 lb of leftover ground turkey before it went bad. I had some sweet potatoes I bought on a whim. A few cans of black beans---is there something here? Google it up, yo. Yes. There is something here- lasagna, burritos, casseroles. Something can be done. And it will be done. Here's the recipe I decided to go with since I was hungry and ready to eat sooner than later. (i.e. I made it up)

steamin' hot!


INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • chili powder - 1/4-1/2 tsp
  • cayenne powder- 1/4-1/2 tsp
  • coriander- 1/4 tsp
  • cumin- 1/4 tsp
  • salt to taste
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed
  • 1 can black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can diced chilies
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

MAKE IT UP
  1. Cook up onion with ground turkey in pan until meat is browned
  2. Meanwhile, put sweet potato cubes in covered dish and microwave for 5 minutes. Test for fork tenderness and cook in 2 minute intervals until just right. 
  3. Once meat is browned, add beans, tomatoes and chilies. Throw in sweet potatoes once cooked. Add cilantro at end, just to warm up.
  4. Serve with rice.
