Turkey and Carrot Breakfast Hash

March 13, 2024

If you’re looking for a savory, satisfying breakfast that’s both healthy and delicious, this turkey and carrot breakfast hash has you covered. It’s the kind of meal that fuels your day while still delivering big on flavor and comfort.

This hash combines lean ground turkey with sweet carrots, onions, and earthy potatoes, all sautéed together in one skillet. It’s a great way to pack in protein and veggies early in the day, and it’s flexible enough to adjust based on what you have on hand. The natural sweetness of the carrots pairs beautifully with the savory turkey and adds a pop of color to the plate.

To make it, start by browning ground turkey in a bit of olive oil until fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin for extra depth. Remove the turkey from the pan and set it aside while you sauté chopped onions, diced potatoes, and shredded or finely chopped carrots in the same skillet. Let them cook until golden and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the veggies are nicely caramelized, return the turkey to the pan and mix everything together. At this point, you can crack a few eggs right into the hash, cover the skillet, and cook until the eggs are just set, or serve the hash with fried or poached eggs on top. Either way, the combination of runny yolk over the savory hash is seriously satisfying.

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch, and maybe a splash of hot sauce or a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like a little kick. It’s a complete breakfast that keeps you full, energized, and ready to tackle the day.

This turkey and carrot breakfast hash is perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunch, or even a quick dinner. It’s easy, nourishing, and a great way to make use of simple ingredients in a creative and delicious way.

    I forgot garlic, and my mom says it’s essential. Didn’t taste right without it, but still okay-ish.

  2. 3 stars
    Its ok, but I forgot to add the onions. Still turned out decent. Next time I’ll try it right.

      Onions are important for flavor! Glad it still turned out decent for you. Can’t wait to see how it is with onions!

    2. 3 stars
      I never use onions when I make hash. Your recipe still sounds good without them!

    Not my favorite. The carrots felt weird with turkey. Maybe if it had some cheese??

    1. 4 stars
      I actually love that combo! The sweetness of the carrots goes great with turkey. Cheese could work too, though!

    Turkey? Really? I guess that’s healthy but not sure if it fits breakfast…

    1. User avatar debbi.blick78 says:

      I think turkey for breakfast is great! It’s lean and packed with protein. Plus, who says breakfast has to be traditional? 👍

  7. 2 stars
    Not sure about the thyme, kinda felt like it didn’t belong. But overall, it was alright.

      Eh, turkey isn’t really my thing… I prefer beef. Plus, carrots for breakfast? Doesn’t sound right.

  11. User avatar minh.murazik25 says:

    The carrots made it too sweet for my taste. I prefer my breakfast savory.

    I don’t think turkey and carrots belong in breakfast. Just saying.

      But why not? Breakfast is about what energizes you! I’ve had weirder things for breakfast for sure.

      Surprised it was tasty? I mean, it’s turkey and carrots, how good can it be? I’m skeptical.

    I don’t know, it was kinda bland for me. I might add some hot sauce next time. 🤷‍♀️

      Bland?? I loved it! But yeah, hot sauce could be good, or maybe some cheese? Just sayin’. 😄

      I thought it was flavorful! Maybe you just need to experiment a bit more with spices. Hot sauce could definitely give it a kick! 🌶️

    Turkey for breakfast? Really? I prefer bacon, thank you. But it was okay.

    1. User avatar anonymous_hacker says:

      Turkey can be a great breakfast option! But I get it, bacon has its charm. Maybe try mixing both next time?

    So easy to make! Can I replace turkey with chicken? Asking for a friend.

    1. User avatar frank.mccullough says:

      2 stars
      I dunno about that. Chicken tastes different and might mess up the whole dish. Stick to turkey, maybe?

    2. 5 stars
      Yes, chicken would work just fine! It’s almost the same, right? Just be sure to cook it thoroughly! 😊

    Can I use chicken instead of turkey? Asking for my buddy who can’t eat red meat.

    Idk about using turkey, it just seemed off… I used beef instead and it was okay, but not great.

    I was skeptical at first, but it actually came out pretty nice! A lil too much carrot for me tho.

  48. 2 stars
    Honestly, the flavors just don’t work together for me. Turkey and carrots? I don’t know…

  49. User avatar willena.littel2019 says:

    Not bad, but I think it needed more flavor. Maybe some hot sauce next time?

    1. 4 stars
      I agree! A little hot sauce would really kick it up a notch. I like to mix in some sriracha for extra zing!
