Smoked Turkey Breast & Cheddar Omelet Bowl with breakfast potatoes, turkey cheddar eggs and scallions in an oatmeal stoneware bowl

Rather than folding four separate omelets, this bowl cooks the eggs as a soft, folded scramble with the turkey and cheese stirred in, which is much quicker for a group.

Why this recipe works

Warming the turkey in the pan first heats it through without overcooking the eggs. Adding cheese at the end melts it into pockets rather than making the eggs greasy.

Ingredient notes

Deli-style smoked turkey is fully cooked. Some brands contain gluten; check labels.

Common mistakes

  • Overcooking the eggs after adding cheese.
  • Crowding the potatoes.

What to serve with it

Salsa or hot sauce.

Meal prep

Potatoes prep ahead; cook eggs fresh.

Swaps and variations

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 3 days. Eggs best fresh.

Ingredients

4 servings

You’ll need: rimmed sheet pan; nonstick skillet

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potatoes and bell pepper with the oil, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast 25 to 30 minutes until crisp.

  2. Whisk the eggs with the remaining salt.

  3. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and warm 1 minute.

  4. Pour in the eggs and cook, folding gently, 3 to 4 minutes until nearly set. Scatter the cheddar over, fold once more and cook until the eggs are fully set with no liquid (160°F / 71°C).

  5. Divide potatoes among 4 bowls, top with the eggs and scallions.
