Description
A nutritious breakfast bowl packed with high protein ingredients like ground turkey, eggs, and cottage cheese, perfect for an energizing start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – divided
- ½ lb ground turkey
- 1.5 tablespoons taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper – to taste
- 3–4 large eggs
- ¼ cup cottage cheese – 2%-4%
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded potatoes – like Simply Potatoes
- Optional toppings – chopped fresh herbs, avocado, Mexican shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes or salsa
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet to medium heat on the stovetop with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon. Season with taco seasoning and cook until no longer pink. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and add cottage cheese along with salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined. Heat another skillet to medium-low and add butter. Add the egg mixture and fold gently as they cook until firm and fluffy. Remove and set aside.
- Clean the pan used for meat and heat it again to medium heat with the remaining olive oil. Drain excess moisture from the shredded potatoes. Add them to the hot pan, season with salt and pepper, and press down to cook, allowing them to cook for 4-5 minutes until golden, flipping halfway through.
- Finally, divide the eggs, meat, and potatoes between two bowls. Top with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, consider roasting the potatoes instead of pan-frying them. You may use different proteins to vary the recipe.
