Though it’s derived from a French word that means chopped, hash is quintessentially American. It’s most often made with roasted or boiled meat (sometimes corned beef) and potatoes, cut into cubes and fried into a crisp-bottomed cake. Invariably, it’s then topped with an egg, poached or fried. This one, made with roast turkey, makes good use of holiday leftovers. Scallions and jalapeño lend it brightness.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Simmer parsnips in salted water for about 2 minutes, until cooked through but firm. Drain and set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry lightly for 1 minute, then add onions and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Add parsnips, turkey and sage. Stir to coat well. Let sizzle, adding more butter as needed, until mixture is well browned, about 10 minutes. Check seasoning. Add broth and transfer skillet to oven. Bake, uncovered, until broth is absorbed and hash is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, cook brussels sprouts: Heat a small amount of butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add slivered sprouts, salt and pepper; stir-fry briefly, until sprouts are just cooked, about 2 minutes. Stir in scallions and jalapeño. Spoon sprouts over hash mixture and set aside to keep warm.

  5. Step 5

    For each portion, cook 1 large egg sunny-side up. Top hash with fried eggs and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

There is nothing better than turkey hash. Just cube turkey (good way to use the little bits), stuffing, mashed potatoes, add gravy and fry in a skillet. No need for other stuff. I fry mine in butter and flip the patties to brown both sides. Serve with leftover cranberries, yum.

Very very good. My husband and I loved it. Made it twice so far and willing to make it for company.

15 min not near enough to evaporate broth and brown.

I used leftover prime rib instead of turkey. Yummy.

One of my favorite dishes to cook when in the mood for a hash. If you don't have leftover turkey, use ground turkey and fry it with the butter for a couple minutes before adding the bacon.

I made a half recipe. It was fabulous except that next time I will crisp the bacon a bit more before adding other ingredients. Great depth of flavor!
