This leftover turkey and sweet potato frittata is packed full of protein and healthy veggies and can be served at any meal!
Ingredients: 5 large eggs 3 large egg whites 1 tsp kosher salt Freshly cracked black pepper 1 oz. grated Gruyere cheese 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 12 ounces peeled Sweet Potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon paprika 6 oz leftover turkey breast, chopped 1 loose cup baby spinach, roughly chopped Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Crack the eggs and egg whites into a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of fresh cracked pepper and beat until blended. Mix in cheese.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick oven safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the oil and onions to the pan and cook until the onions are golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes and thyme, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, paprika and pinch of black pepper. Cover and cook the sweet potatoes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and tender, about 12 minutes.
- Add the chopped turkey to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the spinach, and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the edges are set, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is completely set and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into 6 wedges and serve.
