Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 60 grams lean turkey breast, cooked and diced
- 30 grams low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 50 grams spinach leaves
- 50 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Crack the 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 egg whites to the bowl to boost the protein content while keeping the omelet light.
Step 2
Pour in 2 tablespoons of milk and season with 0.25 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
Step 5
While the eggs begin to set, scatter the 50 grams of spinach leaves evenly over the surface.
Step 6
Once the edges of the omelet start lifting from the pan and the center is slightly set, sprinkle the 60 grams of diced, cooked lean turkey breast evenly over the spinach.
Step 7
Add 50 grams of halved cherry tomatoes and 30 grams of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Step 8
Use a spatula to gently lift the plain side of the omelet and fold it over the side with the toppings. Cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate, and garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately for a high-protein, satisfying meal.
