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