Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 100 grams lean turkey breast (cooked, diced)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 piece yellow bell pepper (diced)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced yellow bell pepper and sauté for 2 minutes until it starts to soften.
Stir in the cooked, diced turkey breast and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Add the baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring frequently until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and turkey mixture in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes.
Gently fold the eggs with a spatula to create soft curds, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still fluffy.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute to let the cheese melt slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, high-protein start to your day!
