Smoked Turkey & Turmeric Omelette

Omelettes are a pretty personal subject. Everyone seems to have their own ideas about the best way to fill one. I guess that’s why the omelette station is a thing.

Recently, my favorite omelette is one that involves turmeric. If you’ve never experienced the combination of eggs and turmeric, you are in for a treat. The flavor is intense and incredible.

The smoked turkey part of the omelette just involves some simple lunch meat. I get some pretty amazing smoked turkey from my local farmer’s market with the following amazingly clean ingredients: turkey, salt, and water.

To complete my smoked turkey and turmeric omelette, I like to add onion, green pepper, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and chives. The result is an omelette that is bursting at the seams with fixin’s and flavor.

Beat the eggs with a 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, a tablespoon of cold water (makes the eggs a little fluffier), and a little salt and black pepper.

Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a skillet and sauté the diced onion, pepper, and mushrooms. A few minutes later, add the smoked turkey and cook until it crisps up a bit.

Finally, add some cherry tomatoes and chives and cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes are blistered.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean. Add another tablespoon of ghee and pour in the eggs. As the eggs set, gently push the edges towards the center of the pan as you tilt it.

Once the eggs have fully set, place the turkey mixture on one side and fold the omelette in half. Plate and enjoy!
