Description
A quick, 10-minute high-protein dinner made with egg whites, turkey, and spinach. This one-pan meal is low in calories, perfect for meal prep, and requires minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large egg whites (or 2 cups liquid egg whites)
- 2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups pre-cooked turkey breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup onion, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Dice turkey, mince garlic, and measure spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out all excess water.
- Whisk egg whites in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add spinach and turkey to the skillet; stir for 1 minute until spinach wilts and turkey heats through.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour whisked egg whites over the mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
- Do not stir. Let eggs sit for 1-2 minutes until edges start to set.
- Cover skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the center is mostly set but slightly jiggly.
- Serve immediately, or let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Notes
Ensure frozen spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry to prevent a watery frittata. Cook on medium-low heat to keep egg whites tender and fluffy. This recipe stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days but does not freeze well.
