Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 medium apple, cored and cut into ½-inch pieces (Honeycrisp or Braeburn work wonderfully, although any apple can suit this recipe)
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream (may also substitute reduced-fat yogurt)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium shallot, chopped
3 cups diced, cooked, skinless turkey breast (or chicken)
1 tsp. dried rosemary (1 Tbsp. fresh, chopped)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directons:

Place sweet potatoes in a steamer basket and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Add apple and cook until everything is just tender, about 3 minutes longer. Be sure that they are not overly mushy. Drain and set aside.
Transfer 1 cup of the mixture to a large bowl; mash. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice. Add the remaining sweet potato/apple mixture and stir gently to mix.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken), rosemary, salt and pepper.
Stir mixture occasionally and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add the reserved sweet potato apple mixture to the pan. Press on the hash with a wide metal spoon or spatula. Cook hash until the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Divide into multiple sections with spatula; flip and cook until the bottom sides are browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve promptly
