Dish Overview

The Dish

A fajita for breakfast? You bet! Inspired by those sizzling, restaurant-style fajitas, we recreated a simplified version perfect for busy weekday mornings — complete with prep-ahead options for even more time savings. Instead of a tortilla, we created this open-faced omelet concept. The omelet is filled with seared and seasoned ground turkey as well as sauteed peppers and onions. A little salsa, low-fat yogurt, and scallions complete the fajita aesthetic. If you would like to make this breakfast fajita vegetarian, feel free to substitute the turkey for your favorite ground meat alternative (or crumbled tofu).

Prepping Ahead/Time-Saving Tips

The ground turkey and veggies (peppers and onions) can be cooked and chilled a day or two in advance. While the eggs are cooking, reheat the turkey and veggie mixture in the microwave (or in another skillet), then assemble as instructed.
