Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have in your fridge. Ground turkey is versatile; try different spices to switch up the flavor profiles. This recipe is great for meal prep; leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. For easy grab-and-go breakfasts, wrap portions in tortillas to take with you. If you want to avoid rubbery eggs, remove them from heat while slightly undercooked; they will continue cooking afterwards.
