Egg-free breakfasts can be hard! I get a ton of questions asking how in the world you can sustain a healthy diet without eggs for breakfast. Honestly, I thought that exact same thing for years. Coming to terms with the reality that I was sensitive to them, I had to figure out what in the world I was going to do without eggs for breakfast! So I’ve made many egg-free breakfast recipes like egg-free protein breakfast box and turkey maple sausages. This turkey & sweet potato breakfast hash is going to be a new egg-free breakfast favorite because…
- Quick and easy! It’s easily made in one pan, which makes for easy cleanup and much less fuss. It’s great for batch cooking at the start of the week for easy breakfasts in a pinch, or make on a weekend.
- Veggie & Protein Forward. This is made with three different kinds of vegetables and protein-packed ground turkey to start the day off right! No sugar bombs that just don’t leave you feeling full.
What flavors go well with sweet potato to make it a perfect breakfast hash?
Sweet potato is a perfect canvas for so many different dishes! To turn it into a great breakfast hash, seasonings like thyme and sage really draw out the savory notes in sweet potato, and fresh diced apple plays into the sweetness.

This was an excellent breakfast! Very filling and yummy!
Thank you!!
Is the rosemary supposed to be fresh or dried?
Dried!
This was good. Plan to make it again. I did add some water and bacon bits which added a great flavor.
thanks!!
Ever tried to freeze this? How does it reheat?
I haven’t tried actually! Please let me know if you do!!
Very good!
Are the herb measurements for dried or fresh?
Fresh, but you can use dried 🙂
This was a refreshing egg alternative. My doctor had me eating three eggs a day for breakfast for a year and a half. I almost can’t even look at eggs anymore.
This was super tasty, great combination of flavors and textures and it kept me and my picky husband full all day. I subbed chicken for turkey because it’s what I had and broccoli for Brussels. I love them but my husband thinks they are the devil. I’m definitely going to put this into rotation.
We’ve been cooking a lot of of your recipes this past month. My kids especially love the chicken poppers. It’s nice when healthy food is also fun food. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thank you so much, Jessica! So glad you like the recipes 🙂 I really appreciate the kind words!
Delicious flavour combination – I also found mine to be a bit dry, but still very tasty. I added broth to moisten things up and it was great! Thanks for a nice recipe 🙂
The flavor combinations in this dish totally rock. Very, very flavorful. I also love how packed with nutrients it is. I’ve been searching for some healthy breakfast recipes and now I have one. Thank you!
Why two stars? Made following the directions, this recipe is so dry it’s inedible. I’m cool with ‘clean’ eating but this is inedible if made as written.
I wound up gradually adding about 3/4 cup chicken stock as I finished up sautéing everything. That helped. Next time I might try an all natural apple juice, one with no added sugars.
would bacon work instead of ground turkey or sausage?
For sure 🙂
