Why You will Love This Turkey Leeks and Potato Hash
Who doesn’t love a good hash?! This healthy hash remix is going to be no exception. Traditionally, a hash is made from ground meat, onions and potatoes. However we thought we would mix it up and throw in leeks because we can’t resist any opportunity to use them.
Leeks, or puerros, are this incredible super food. If onions and garlic got together to have a baby, it would be a leek. So basically they are a star ingredient. Leeks are packed with vitamins including A, C, K, folate, and iron. This means that they support bone health and immunity.
Leeks happen to go perfectly with potatoes, so we thought that incorporating them into a hash was genius. Potatoes get a really bad wrap. However they can actually be very good for you. Potatoes are high in Vitamins C and B, and can be good for heart healthy and inflammation.
Besides being packed with veggies, this recipe is a one pot wonder dish that can be ready in under 40 minutes. The thing about eating healthy, especially during the week, is quick and easy. A one pot dish usually checks both boxes. It simplifies cooking, and also simplifies the cleaning.
