Description

A hearty one-pan turkey and egg breakfast skillet packed with protein, colorful vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs for a satisfying meal any time of day.


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

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado slices, hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns, until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell peppers and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Make four small wells in the turkey mixture and crack one egg into each well.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and add optional toppings before serving.

Notes

Ground chicken can be substituted for turkey.

Adjust egg cooking time based on preferred yolk doneness.

Vegetables can be swapped based on availability.

Best cooked over medium heat to keep turkey juicy.
