Turkey Spinach Frittata
Oven-finished egg frittata with ground turkey, spinach, and onion.
For 2 servings
Sauté the turkey and aromatics.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground turkey, diced onion, and minced garlic.
- Cook for 6 minutes until the turkey is browned and onions are translucent.
- Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.
Whisk and combine the egg mixture.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the turkey and spinach in the skillet, ensuring the ingredients are distributed uniformly.
Cook on the stovetop then finish in the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 2 minutes to set the bottom crust.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove once the center is firm and the edges are lightly golden.
Garnish and rest before serving.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of the hot frittata. Let the dish rest for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the eggs to stabilize for easier slicing.
TIPResting the frittata prevents the eggs from weeping and ensures clean, firm wedges.
What to keep in mind.
3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a high-quality non-stick oven-safe pan to ensure the frittata slides out easily.
- 2Avoid over-whisking the eggs; beating too much air into them can cause the frittata to puff up and then collapse.
- 3Ensure the ground turkey is broken into small crumbles during sautéing for a better texture in every bite.
