Packed with protein from turkey and eggs, and loaded with vitamins and minerals from fresh spinach, this omelet is both hearty and healthy.

Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3 oz turkey ham
81g
1 cup spinach
30g
2 eggs
100g
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Dice the turkey ham into small pieces.
- Wash and chop the spinach if not pre-washed.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
2. Beat the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
3. Cook the Filling:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and apply a short spray of cooking spray oil to coat the surface.
- Add the diced turkey ham to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the turkey ham. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the turkey and spinach mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Cook the Omelet:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Re-spray the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil if needed.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
5. Add the Filling:
- Once the eggs have begun to set but are still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the turkey ham and spinach mixture over one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
6. Fold and Finish Cooking:
- Carefully fold the omelet in half over the filling using a spatula.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to cook through.
7. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
- Optional: Garnish with additional spinach or a small sprinkle of extra cheddar cheese on top if desired.

Tips:

- Tip 1: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. If using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well.

- Tip 2: Pre-cook the turkey ham before adding it to the omelet to enhance its flavor.

- Tip 3: Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.

- Tip 4: Cover the pan with a lid while cooking the omelet to help the eggs set more quickly and evenly.

- Tip 5: Allow the cheddar cheese to melt completely by sprinkling it on top of the omelet in the last minute of cooking, then folding the omelet over.
