Ingredients
- Ground Turkey: 1/2 pound 227 grams
- Eggs: 4 large
- Red Bell Pepper: 1/2 diced (about 75 grams)
- Onion: 1 small finely chopped (about 150 grams)
- Spinach: 1 cup fresh (30 grams)
- Mushrooms: 1/2 cup sliced (70 grams)
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Cheddar Cheese optional: 1/4 cup, shredded (30 grams)
- Tomato: 1 sliced (about 123 grams)
- Fresh Parsley: for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- Toss in the ground turkey. Break it apart using a spatula and cook until it turns brown.
- Once the ground turkey is well-cooked, throw in the red bell pepper and mushrooms. Stir well.
- As the veggies soften, sprinkle some salt and pepper to season.
- In a separate bowl, crack open the eggs. Whisk them thoroughly until slightly frothy.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring they cover the ground turkey and veggies evenly.
- Let the eggs set for a few minutes. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top now.
- Once the omelette begins to firm up, but still has a soft layer on top, flip it carefully.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until fully set.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and tomato slices.
Notes
Always use a non-stick skillet to avoid the omelette from sticking and tearing.
You can also add other veggies like zucchini or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.
For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Whisking the eggs properly will ensure your Ground Turkey Omelette is fluffy and soft.
Use a spatula that is wide and flat to make flipping the omelette easier.
