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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the diced yellow bell pepper and sauté for 2 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked, diced turkey breast and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring frequently until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute to let the cheese melt slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, high-protein start to your day!
