PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Wash the spinach and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  • Cook The Turkey: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the ground turkey, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes until no longer pink.
  • Add The Spinach: Stir the spinach into the turkey mixture and cook for another minute until wilted. Transfer the turkey and spinach to a plate and set aside.
  • Cook The Eggs: In the same pan, pour the whisked eggs and allow them to set slightly. Tilt the pan and use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the centre while letting the uncooked eggs spread out.
  • Add The Turkey And Spinach: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft, evenly spread the turkey and spinach mixture over one-half of the omelette.
  • Fold The Omelette: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is heated through.
  • Serve Immediately: Slide the omelette onto a plate and enjoy while warm.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this turkey and spinach omelette.

  • Use A Non-Stick Pan: This prevents the omelette from sticking and makes flipping easier. A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet also works well.
  • Keep The Heat Medium-Low: Cooking eggs over too high heat can cause them to become rubbery instead of soft and fluffy.
  • Season For Extra Flavour: Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, or garlic powder to enhance the taste without overpowering the ingredients.
  • Avoid Overcooking The Spinach: Cook it just until wilted to maintain its nutrients and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Whisk The Eggs Well: This helps incorporate air, making the omelette lighter and fluffier. Whisking for at least 30 seconds ensures the best texture.
  • Let The Omelette Rest: Allowing it to sit in the pan for 10-15 seconds before folding helps it firm up, making it easier to handle.
  • Customise With Herbs: Fresh parsley, basil, or chives can add a fresh flavour boost to the dish.

VARIATIONS

  • Cheesy Addition: Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, before folding for extra creaminess.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use a splash of almond or oat milk in the eggs to create a softer texture without adding dairy.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce for some heat.
  • Mushroom Upgrade: Sauté mushrooms with the turkey for extra texture and a rich umami flavour.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap the turkey for crumbled tofu or mushrooms to keep it plant-based while maintaining the protein content.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store the leftover omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as eggs can become rubbery when frozen and reheated.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook the turkey and spinach in advance, store them in the fridge and simply add to freshly cooked eggs for a quicker meal.
