Ingredients

1 lb ground sausage see notes for AIP
4 cups sweet potato chopped
1 yellow onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
4 stalks celery chopped
1 honey crisp apple diced
2 tsp fresh thyme
1 tsp dried sage
Salt to taste
¼ tsp black pepper omit for AIP
1 tbsp maple syrup omit for whole30
2 tbsp dried cranberries unsweetened

Instructions

Using a large pan set to medium heat, brown the sausage, using a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles. Once cooked, set aside and reserve 2-3 tbsp of fat in the pan.
Add the sweet potato to the pan and cook for 12-15 minutes, rotating often, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender and lightly crisp. Add more fat (like coconut oil or avocado oil) if needed as you go. Set aside.
Add more fat to the pan if needed, and saute the onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Pour in the celery and chopped apple and cook for 5-6 minutes or until fork tender.
Add the sweet potato and sausage back. Season with thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and maple syrup and stir well to combine. Saute for another 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Serve topped with dried cranberries.

Notes

To make an AIP compliant sausage, simply use 1 lb of ground pork (or turkey) and season with 1 tsp each of rosemary, sage, thyme, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
