| Fowl Play: Instead of fatty, salty corned beef, I used a modest amount of lean turkey. Mixed Veggies: Carrots and corn add color and make a serving of nutritious vegetables. Beyond Butter: Traditional hash uses butter and cream. I sautéed the hash in heart-healthy olive oil to develop a crispy crust. |
