Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning salt
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat Mexican blend shredded cheese (omit for Whole30)
  • 1 lb 99% lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons bell pepper, minced
  • 4 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions or cilantro (for topping)
  • salsa (for serving)
  • 12 baby gold or red potatoes, quartered
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • fresh black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, season with adobo seasoning salt, and add the cheese.

  3. Add the potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and black pepper, and toss.

  5. Meanwhile, brown turkey in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up while it cooks. When no longer pink, add the spices and mix well.
  6. Add the onion, bell pepper, tomato sauce, and water. Stir and cover, simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
  7. Spray another skillet with nonstick spray, add the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and scramble, cooking until just set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. To serve, place 3/4 cup turkey and 2/3 cup scrambled eggs in each plate or bowl, divide the potatoes, and top each with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, scallions or cilantro. Serve with salsa on the side.
