Turnip Ground Beef Hash


Serves 3-4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
  • ½ large onion, diced (~ 3/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large (or 4 small) turnips, peeled and diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 cups loosely packed spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
    Directions:
  1. Place large skillet over medium-high heat and allow to heat up for 2-3 minutes before adding 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add in diced onion once oil is hot, about 1 minute.
  2. Sauté onion until translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Add in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add ground beef and season with a dash of salt and pepper plus the cayenne pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into bite-size pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is no longer pink. Transfer cooked beef and onion to a small bowl, cover, and set aside.
  3. Place the same skillet back over medium-high heat and add in remaining avocado oil. Allow to heat for 1 minute. Add the turnips and red bell pepper, season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika; stir to combine. Cover and let cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until turnips are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to ensure turnips don’t burn on one side.
  4. Add in chopped spinach and beef mixture and combine well. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spinach to wilt and beef to warm. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce or salsa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
