INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the olive oil or cooking spray in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it’s browned and cooked through.
Stir in the chopped red and green bell peppers, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Create four small wells in the mixture, and crack one egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook to your desired doneness. For runny yolks, cook for about 3-4 minutes, or longer for firmer yolks.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the Turkey and Veggie Breakfast Skillet immediately, with the eggs on top of the turkey and vegetable mixture.
You can garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, if desired.
TIPS
Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus to the skillet for extra variety and nutrients.
If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper during cooking.
This recipe is versatile, and you can enjoy it for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.
Serve the breakfast skillet with whole-grain toast or a side of avocado slices for a complete and well-rounded meal.
