Ingredients

  • - Whole grain bread slices: 4 slices for 2 sandwiches
  • - Ground turkey: 1/2 lb 227 grams
  • - Egg whites: 4 about 120 ml
  • - Black beans drained and mashed: 1/2 cup (120 grams)
  • - Fresh spinach: 1 cup 240 ml
  • - Low-fat Greek yogurt: 1/4 cup 60 ml
  • - Red chili flakes: 1 tsp 5 ml
  • - Ground black pepper: 1/2 tsp 2.5 ml
  • - Olive oil: 1 tbsp 15 ml
  • - Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start by mixing the ground turkey with red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  • Shape into two equal-sized patties.
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the turkey patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through.While the patties are cooking, whisk the egg whites in a bowl until frothy.
  • In another non-stick pan, pour in the whisked egg whites.
  • Cook on low-medium heat, making sure not to stir too much.
  • You want a solid, fluffy omelette shape.
  • Once set, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Take the toasted whole grain bread slices and spread a generous dollop of Greek yogurt on one side of each slice.
  • Assemble your sandwich.On one slice (yogurt side up), place half of the cooked egg whites, followed by a turkey patty, a sprinkle of mashed black beans, and a handful of fresh spinach.Top with the second slice, yogurt side down.Press gently.
  • Top with the second slice, yogurt side down.Press gently.
  • Repeat for the second Spicy High Protein Breakfast Sandwich.

Notes

1. Feel free to use a toaster or grill to get that extra crispiness on the bread slices.
2. For an added kick, consider adding a teaspoon of spicy salsa or hot sauce to the Greek yogurt before spreading.
3. If you're not a fan of spicy foods, you can always dial down the chili flakes or omit them entirely. Your sandwich will still be protein-packed!
  • Slice the sandwich diagonally to make it more manageable and visually appealing.
  • A side of fresh fruit or a green smoothie can complement the savory taste of the sandwich, making it a balanced breakfast.
  • For an extra protein boost, consider adding a glass of soy or almond milk on the side.
