Description
A delicious and hearty ground turkey and potato scramble, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – divided
- 1/2 lb ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper – to taste
- 3–4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese – 2%-4%
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded potatoes – like Simply Potatoes
- Optional toppings – chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley, avocado, Mexican shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes or salsa
Instructions
- Heat a skillet to medium heat on the stovetop with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the ground turkey and break it up in the pan using a wooden spoon or spatula. Season the meat with the taco seasoning and cook until it is no longer pink. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Crack the eggs into a medium size bowl, add the cottage cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs until fully combined. Heat a skillet to medium-low heat on the stovetop with 1 pat of butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the eggs to the pan and cook until firm and fluffy. Remove and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan you used to cook the meat and heat it to medium heat on the stovetop with the remaining olive oil. Squeeze any excess moisture out of the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. Add the potatoes to the hot pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and press them down. Let the potatoes cook for 4-5 minutes, break them up and flip to cook until golden.
- Divide the eggs, meat, and potatoes between 2 bowls, top with desired toppings, and enjoy!
