Turkey and Spinach Omelette

easy13 min totalPrep: 5mCook: 8mServes: 1

A 4-egg omelette with turkey breast and spinach is one of the most protein-dense low-carb meals you can make in under 10 minutes. It's not a diet compromise — it's a genuinely good meal. The key is a hot pan and not rushing the fold.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g sliced turkey breast, diced
  • 60g fresh spinach
  • 30g reduced-fat feta or cheddar, crumbled
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the turkey and spinach. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  4. Move the filling to one side of the pan.
  5. Pour the eggs into the empty half of the pan. As the edges set, use a spatula to pull them towards the centre.
  6. Scatter the cheese over the filling side.
  7. Once the egg is mostly set but slightly glossy on top, fold the egg half over the filling.
  8. Cook for 30 more seconds, then slide onto a plate.

Pro Tip

Remove the omelette from the pan while the top is still slightly glossy — it will continue cooking from residual heat for 30 seconds on the plate. Waiting until it's fully dry in the pan produces a rubbery omelette.

Nutrition Notes

Four eggs combined with 100g of turkey breast provides 38g of protein with minimal carbohydrates. This omelette is compatible with a strict low-carb approach and provides all essential amino acids from two distinct protein sources.
