Sweet Potato Hash with Turkey Kielbasa

I love the sweet and savory flavors in this dish.  Top this with a fried egg and an oozing yolk and you got a whole new level of deliciousness!! This was a really easy and quick dish to make but it looks like a you slaved over the stove to make it, no worries I won't tell!  The key to this dish is to cut the cubes evenly.  I steamed the sweet potatoes in the microwave for 6 minutes then cooked them on a cast iron pan.

Here's what it looks like with the eggs.  This is a really great dish after a hard workout.  It's filling and nutrient dense.  Sweet potatoes are rich in anti-oxidants and are very effective at raising blood levels of vitamin A, C and B6 which supports energy.  A 3.5oz serving provides almost 90% of vitamin A needs.  This is a carb worth eating.
