Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 ounce Cooked lean ground turkey (99% fat-free)
- 0.25 cup Chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 2 tablespoons Diced onion
- 2 tablespoons Diced tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Salsa (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In the skillet, cook the lean ground turkey with the taco seasoning for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped bell pepper and diced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the turkey.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg whites into the skillet. Swirl the skillet to evenly coat the bottom with the egg mixture.
6. Cook the egg whites for 2-3 minutes, or until almost set but still slightly soft on top.
7. Evenly distribute the turkey, bell pepper, onion, diced tomato, and cheese over one half of the omelette.
8. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and fully set the eggs.
9. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with a dollop of salsa on top, if using.
10. Enjoy your healthy, low-fat taco omelette!
