Before You Begin

Be sure to use ground turkey, not ground turkey breast (also labeled 99 percent fat-free). Feel free to swap in other styles of cooked eggs here. This recipe can be easily doubled.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss 1¼ pounds sweet potatoes, cut into ¾-inch pieces, with 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon coriander, and ⅛ teaspoon salt on rimmed baking sheet. Spread potatoes into even layer and roast until tender and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes, tossing potatoes halfway through roasting.

Meanwhile, using your hands, gently mix 8 ounces ground turkey, minced whites of 2 scallions, 1½ teaspoons maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon ground sage, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt in bowl until well combined. Divide turkey mixture into 4 portions (about 2¼ ounces each) and shape into 2½-inch-wide patties.

Heat remaining 1½ teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook patties until well browned on both sides and meat registers 160 degrees, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to plate. Add 5 cups baby spinach to now-empty skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring 1 quart water to boil in medium saucepan. Gently lower 2 eggs into water and cook for 7 to 8 minutes for jammy centers. Transfer to ice bath, cool slightly, then peel and halve.

Divide potatoes between serving bowls and top with sausage, spinach, and eggs. Sprinkle with minced greens of 2 scallions, drizzle with extra maple syrup, and serve with hot sauce.
