Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup yellow onion
- 0.5 cup mushrooms
- 0.25 cup low-sodium lean turkey breast
- 0.25 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt substitute
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all ingredients. Chop the red and green bell peppers, yellow onion, mushrooms, and turkey breast into small, uniform pieces.
Step 2
In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Stir in the turkey breast pieces and fresh spinach, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Step 5
While the vegetables and turkey are cooking, beat the egg whites in a bowl until they are well combined.
Step 6
Pour the egg whites into the skillet over the sautéed mixture, gently shaking the skillet to evenly distribute the vegetables and turkey.
Step 7
Cook the mixture without stirring until the edges start to set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the omelet, then use a spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half.
Step 9
Continue to cook for an additional minute to allow the cheese to melt and the omelet to set completely.
Step 10
Season with black pepper and a salt substitute to taste, then slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve warm and enjoy a heart-healthy breakfast.
