Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1pound ground turkey
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon sea salt
Ground black pepper to taste
4cups fresh baby spinach
1/3cup fresh basil, packed, lightly chopped
4 eggs
1 avocado, pit removed, sliced
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, bell pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, fennel seed, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon or spatula, until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 10–15 minutes.
Ground turkey is lean but may release some fat. If there’s excess in the pan, carefully spoon it out, blot with a paper towel, or increase the heat slightly and stir until the moisture cooks off.
Add the spinach and basil to the skillet and cook just until the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat and set aside while you prepare the eggs.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook undisturbed until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the ground turkey mixture between bowls, top with the sunny-side-up eggs, and finish with sliced avocado. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
