Preparation
- Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil. (Add turkey bacon to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until starting to crisp.)
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
- Add the onions, red peppers, and yellow peppers to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should start to caramelize.
- Add the kale to the pan and wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup water to steam if potatoes haven’t cooked through.
- Serve with soft boiled eggs.

Ann's Tips and Tricks
To make this a vegetarian dish, instead of turkey bacon in step 3 when the the sweet potatoes, onions, and peppers are soft and caramelized, stir in 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked paprika and cook for a minute before adding the kale. Or in Step 1 you can use tempeh bacon strips, only be aware it won’t crisp like bacon.
