Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet Hash

Ahh since being diagnosed with celiacs Im on a mission to find yummy recipes I can make that the whole family will love and this one did just that!

The yummy combo of sweet potato, cheese, cilantro and turkey sounded odd at first but they all blended so well together. Next time I would double the amount of protein though so that there would be more meat than carbs in general.
