Ingredients
-
1 pound ground turkey
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, diced
-
1 green bell pepper, diced
-
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
-
8 large eggs
-
1 cup milk (or unsweetened plant-based milk)
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers for 5–7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add cooked turkey back to the skillet and combine with the vegetables.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Spread turkey and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Pour egg mixture over everything evenly.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes until eggs are set and top is lightly golden. Test with a knife in the center—it should come out clean.
-
Let rest 5–10 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
-
For a crispier top, broil 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
-
Substitute other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for variation.
-
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
