Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg whites
• 4 ounces Ground turkey
• 0.25 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Salsa (optional)
• 0.25 fruit Avocado, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until well-combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula (3-4 minutes).

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped onion, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt to the ground turkey. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean and spray it with cooking spray or add a small amount of olive oil. Pour in the whisked egg mixture and allow it to spread evenly in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the eggs over medium-low heat until the edges begin to set and the center is still slightly wet (about 2-3 minutes). Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and let any uncooked egg run underneath.

Step 6

Once the base of the omelet is set, sprinkle fresh spinach on one half of the omelet. Add the cooked ground turkey and vegetable mixture on top of the spinach, followed by the shredded cheese.

Step 7

Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Press gently to seal the edges and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa and sliced avocado on the side, if desired.
