Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup of diced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the 1/2 lb of ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced green pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for another 3 minutes.
- Pour in the 1.50 cups of pasta sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Create three small wells in the turkey mixture and crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until the eggs are set to your liking, about 10-15 minutes. (10 minutes for runny yolks, 15 for fully set yolks.)
- Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Serve immediately, straight from the skillet. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad.
Tips:
- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking. This makes the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the paprika.
- Make sure to evenly distribute the eggs on top of the meat and vegetable mixture for consistent cooking.
- Use a good quality pasta sauce for the best flavor. You can even make your own if you prefer.
- Serve the baked eggs with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
