How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your High Protein Breakfast Bowl.

Cook the 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 cook until it is no longer pink. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Whisk the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, then add the cottage cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined. Heat a skillet to medium-low heat on the stovetop and add 1 pat of butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the eggs to the pan and fold as they cook, until they are firm and fluffy. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Potatoes

Wipe out the pan used for the turkey and heat it to medium heat with the remaining olive oil. Place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Add the potatoes to the hot pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and press them down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden, then break them up and flip, cooking until they are crispy.

Assemble the Bowls

Divide the eggs, turkey, and potatoes between 2 bowls. Top with your desired toppings and enjoy!

How to Store It

Fridge: up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: no, as potatoes lose texture.
Reheat: in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• Use freshly shredded potatoes for the best texture.
• Adjust taco seasoning according to your spice preference.
• Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and fluffy.
• Experiment with different toppings to keep it exciting.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
• Pair with whole grain toast for added fiber.
• Enjoy as a savory breakfast any day of the week.
