Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – divided
- 1/2lb ground turkey
- 1.5 tablespoons 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
- Cook the ground turkey – 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 toss and cook until it is no longer pink. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Cook the eggs – 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 to prevent sticking. Add the eggs to the pan and fold and cook them in the pan until firm and fluffy. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the potatoes – Wipe out the pan you used to cook the meat in and heat it to medium heat on the stovetop with the remaining olive oil. Add the potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze any excess moisture out of them. Then add the potatoes to the hot pan, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and press them down in the pan. Let the potatoes cook for 4-5 minutes, then break them up and flip and cook them until they are nice and golden.
- Build your bowl – divide the eggs, meat and potatoes between 2 bowls, top with desired topping and enjoy!
Notes
- Ground turkey – you can use any ground meat you like or use leftover cooked meat from dinner the night before. You could also use precooked sausage links as a shortcut.
- Eggs – use whole eggs or eggs whites.
- Potatoes – I used Simply Potatoes brand shredded potatoes but you can use shredded sweet potato, breakfast potatoes, or hash browns.
- Storage – this breakfast bowl is best if eaten right away but you can pre make all the ingredients and store them separately in the refrigerator in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Warm them up when you are ready to build your bowls.
