Turkey Sweet Potato Hash - Slimmed
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped baked sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 medium
potatoes)
2 1/2 cups shredded cooked turkey
1/4 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/2 medium yellow onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro), plus leaves for garnish
1/3 cup queso fresco (Mexican farmer's cheese), crumbled (1 1/2 ounces)
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon oil, such as soy, peanut, vegetable or corn
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 scallions (white and green), thinly sliced

Serving suggestion: Chipotle Cranberry Sauce, recipe follows
Equipment: 10-inch non-stick skillet with oven-proof handle

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mash 1 cup of the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with a fork. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sweet
potatoes, the turkey, broth, onion, garlic, chipotles, coriander, 1/4 cup of the cheese, and the egg
white. Season with the salt and pepper. Stir briskly to combine.
Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the hash and form it into
a round cake the size of the pan with a spatula. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the
bottom sets, about 3 minutes. To turn the hash, set a plate the size of the skillet on top of the
pan. Invert the pan so the hash falls intact onto the plate. Melt the remaining tablespoon butter in
the skillet. Slide the hash back into the skillet cooked-side up. If the hash breaks apart, simply
re-form the cake with the spatula. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the hash until firm, about 10 minutes. Carefully, invert
the hash onto a serving plate. Scatter the scallions, coriander, and the remaining cheese on the
top. Serve hot or warm, with Chipotle Cranberry Sauce, if desired.

Slim down tips: --Use white meat instead of dark for less fat --Cooking
the hash in the cake form uses less fat than a chopped version --Ounce for ounce, soft cheeses
usually have less fat than harder ones
