Leftover Turkey Omelette :: from Do Something's FoodWise web site

Submitted by:

Venessa Van Peype

Ingredients

Olive oil
Salt & pepper
4 eggs
200g of cooked turkey, torn into strips
1 thinly sliced red capsicum
2 thinly sliced onions or shallots
2 large tomatoes, diced
Leftover vegetables, including potatoes if you like
1 small chilli
1 clove of garlic, finely sliced is optional

Method

Fry the capsicum, onion slices and chilli in the oil until soft and golden. Remove to a plate.

Add a little more olive oil and fry the turkey strips until turning golden.

Return the capsicum and onions to the pan.

Add the tomatoes and garlic and fry for 30 seconds to dry off the tomato.

Whisk the eggs well and pour over the turkey and vegetables.

Add salt and pepper.

Keep the heat at medium to start with and using a spatula, make holes in the egg so that the uncooked egg flows in and fills the gap you have made.

When you have almost no soft egg left but when the omelette is still wobbly, put the pan under a hot grill to finish off, this takes about two minutes.

The top should be puffed up and golden. Serve immediately.
