Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 links turkey sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon green onions (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
In a nonstick skillet, cook the turkey sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes). Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then place it back on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, tilting the pan to ensure the entire surface is coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cooked turkey sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Add the chopped green onions if using.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and press gently to seal.
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked but still tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional green onions if desired, and serve immediately.
