Directions for High Protein Frittata
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC).
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a 10" cast iron frying pan or oven safe skillet. Add the ground turkey, nutmeg, sage and half the salt to the pan. Fry the turkey, stirring every few minutes, until cooked through. Then add in the broccoli and stir to combine.
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and turkey in the pan. Sprinkle with the feta and place the cherry tomatoes over top.
Cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes then transfer to the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This is great served warm or cold. Serve with a green salad or just grab a slice if you're in a rush!
