Servings: 4 bowls
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach fresh
- 1/3 cup basil fresh, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1 avocado pitted, sliced
- Green onion sliced
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tbsp of olive oil, ground turkey, yellow onion, red bell pepper, garlic cloves, paprika, fennel seeds, sea salt and black pepper.
- Give the skillet a good stir and break the turkey apart with a spatula, cover it with spices completely, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until it's fully done.
- Now, remove excess fat from the skillet.
- Next, add in baby spinach and chopped basil to the skillet. Cook until spinach wilts, remove the pan from the heat, and set it aside.
- Take out a separate large non-stick pan and heat up over medium-high heat, add in 1 tbsp olive oil, crack in the eggs, stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until whites have set and you’ve created the scrambled egg texture just as you like.
- Assemble your bowls. Transfer ground turkey to 4 bowls, top up with scrambled eggs in each, and add slices of avocado and garnish with sliced green onion. Salt and pepper to taste.
