Description
Crispy, oven-baked hash browns meet savory spiced ground turkey and creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs. This protein-packed morning bowl is pure comfort.
Ingredients
- Frozen Hash Brown PotatoesUse shredded or cubed varieties, ensuring they are completely thawed before baking for maximum crispiness.
- Olive Oil or Clarified ButterEssential for tossing the hash browns before baking; this fat helps achieve that crucial golden, crunchy exterior.
- Lean Ground TurkeyA fantastic, savory protein base; season it generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika while browning.
- Large EggsThe binding and creamy element of the bowl; whisk them thoroughly before scrambling and cook them low and slow.
- Milk or CreamA splash helps the scrambled eggs become incredibly fluffy and rich; full-fat options yield the best texture.
- Sharp Cheddar CheeseShredded cheese melts wonderfully over the hot ingredients, adding essential richness and depth of flavor.
- Onion and Bell PepperDiced finely, these vegetables are sautéed with the turkey, building the aromatic base of the filling.
- Spices (Paprika, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper)Use these to heavily season both the turkey and the eggs, enhancing the overall savory profile.
- Toppings (Avocado, Scallions, Hot Sauce)These fresh elements add complexity, healthy fats, and necessary heat to finish the bowl.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep and Crisp the Hash Browns
- Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics and Brown the Turkey
- Step 3: Scramble the Eggs to Perfection
- Step 4: Assemble the Components
- Step 5: Top and Serve Immediately
Notes
- To maximize freshness, store the turkey filling and eggs separately from the hash browns; they will keep well in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- For the best texture when reheating leftovers, use a toaster oven or air fryer to re-crisp the hash browns before combining them with the gently warmed turkey and eggs.
- Serve these bowls immediately, ensuring you layer the hot ingredients first and finish with fresh, cold toppings like avocado and a generous drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
- For maximum crunch, ensure your frozen hash browns are fully thawed and patted thoroughly dry with paper towels before baking, as residual moisture prevents true crispiness.
