Tips for this Turkey and Eggs Recipe

- Add some red pepper flakes to the filling for some heat.
- You can also swap the ground turkey for ground beef or ground chicken instead.

- Make sure your pan isn’t too big; otherwise, the omelette will spread too much.
- A half baking sheet or jelly roll pan works best.
Ingredients for Ground Turkey Omelette
- Eggs: I use 3 eggs for a single omelette, however, you’ll need more if you’re doubling or tripling the recipe.
- Grated cheese: Use any firm cheese. I use mozzarella (not the really fresh kind!), but you can use cheddar, Parmesan, etc.
- Mayonnaise: This adds moisture and fat to the omelette.
- Semolina: An optional addition, but I recommend it! It gives the omelette a bit of structure and helps it to roll and stretch without breaking.
- For the filling: You’ll need ground turkey, diced onions, salt, and pepper.
How to Make a Turkey Omelette
Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, mayo, cheese, and semolina. Whisk to combine, making sure to beat the eggs well. Set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the diced onions in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden.
Step 3: Add the sautéed onions to a food processor (or blender) and pulse until puréed. Then, combine it in a large bowl with the ground turkey, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Pour the omelette mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until the omelette is set and the edges are a golden brown.
Step 5: Once the omelette is out of the oven, grab your ground turkey filling and spread it across the entire surface of the omelette.
Step 6: Start from the short end of the omelette and roll it up into a log. Wrap it in foil paper, kind of like a breakfast burrito!
Step 7: Place it back into the oven for another 35-40 minutes. Remove it from the oven once the baking time is up, but do not unwrap it yet. Let it cool first, so the juices can be absorbed back into the omelette.
Step 8: Once cooled, unwrap it, slice it, and enjoy!
Ways to Serve an Omelette with Turkey
We love it simply on a slice of artisan bread with a slice of crisp cucumber on top!
Of course you can serve it with bacon or sausage for breakfast, a side salad, or some fresh arugula for lunch. You can also have it with some roasted potatoes or rice for dinner.
Recipe FAQs
No! The spread is uncooked, which is why it spends 40 minutes in the oven. In the end, it’s nicely cooked without being too dry.
If you prefer it that way, you can. I do recommend you sauté them first just to soften them up and get rid of some of that raw onion flavor, but it’s up to you!
Enjoy leftovers of your ground turkey and eggs breakfast for a couple of days! As long as it’s sealed in an airtight container in the fridge, it’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the microwave to enjoy it warm.

High Protein Breakfast (Ground Turkey and Eggs Omelette Roll)
Equipment
- baking sheet small
Ingredients
Ingredients for the Omelette
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g mozzarella cheese grated or use any hard cheese (about 1 cup)
- 100 g mayo about ½ cup
- 1 tablespoon semolina optional
For the Turkey Filling
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 medium onion finely chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
- 350 g ground turkey about 1 ½ cups
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready when you're set to bake. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs, mayonnaise, grated cheese, and semolina (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Bake the Omelette: Pour the omelette batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until it turns golden brown about 20-25 min.
- Sauté the Onions: Peel and chop the onions. Sauté them with oil over medium heat until they become soft and translucent. This adds great flavor to your filling.
- Blend the Onions: Once cooked, transfer the sautéed onions to a blender and blend until smooth for a creamy texture in your turkey filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, mix the ground turkey with the blended onions, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is well combined.
- Add the Turkey Filling: After the omelette is baked, carefully spread the turkey mixture evenly over the surface of the omelette.
- Roll It Up: Roll the omelette into a log shape, taking care not to tear it. Wrap it in the parchment paper that it was baked on, along with foil to retain moisture during the final bake.
- Bake Again: Return the rolled omelette to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This helps the flavors meld perfectly.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, let it cool in the foil so the juices can soak back into the roll. Then, slice it into portions.
- Enjoy: Serve warm with s slice on sourdough bread and cucumber.
