Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup bell peppers (diced, any color)
- 1/2 cup onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Avocado slices
- Hot sauce
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the turkey. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables soften. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the Eggs: Create four small wells in the turkey and vegetable mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness, whether runny or firm.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Add optional toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado slices, or hot sauce if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- You can customize the veggies by adding spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese topping.
- Cook the eggs longer for fully firm yolks or less time for runnier eggs.
- Ground turkey can be substituted with ground chicken or turkey sausage for variation.
- Serve with toast or warm tortillas for a more filling breakfast.
