How to Make Our Egg and Turkey Skillet
- Spray skillet with non stick spray and add in ground turkey.
- Cook over medium heat until turkey is browned. Drain any grease.
- Add in salsa and mix well. Cook turkey and salsa for 2-3 minutes.
- Crack in eggs and cover skillet for 7 to 9 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking. I cooked mine for the whole 9 minutes because I liked my yolks cooked all the way through.
Recipe Notes
You could definitely make this recipe, using ground beef. However, ground beef often has a little more fat to it, so we recommend rinsing and draining the beef a few times. I even rinse and drain my ground turkey.

Eating this right now. So glad to find a healthy breakfast that tastes really good!
Thanks!
This will make a healthy dinner for my hubby and I this week.
Wow! My mouth is watering right now and will make in a few minutes! This is a great breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe! I have been gathering ideas for company we have coming and this will be one of the breakfasts! Thank You!!!!??
What sides could you add to this?
We love fresh fruit or grapefruit for breakfast!
This was DELISH. We made for dinner tonight. I have a picky 5 yo dtr who eyeballs and vetoes most food groups, but does eat most things Mexican I seasoned the meat with onion powder, garlic powder, sun dried tomato bits, and lawrys chicken (and turkey) seasoning while I browned the meat and added a can of diced tomatoes (juice drained off) reduced the salsa ( for the picky eater) and added shredded cheese the last 2 1/2 minutes. We served dinner with corn tortillas, sour cream, avocados sliced and limes… Can’t thank you enough .. A healthy dinner and something we will definitely make again…
Almost forgot cut up oranges to go on the side 🙂
Yay!! It’s so nice when you can get those picky eaters to eat!! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog.
I used a tomatotillo? salsa-sauce, and it was very tasty. Not very hot-spicy. Had it for dinner and cooked peas to go with it, was great. Will be doing it again, with variations.
Made this last night for supper and it was a hit! I added some peppers and onions before cooking the turkey and added a little shredded cheese on top at the end. It was delicious! We usually do a weekly “breakfast for supper” day at our house and this recipe is definitely going to make the menu again! Thanks!
Can this be reheated?
We reheat any leftovers in the microwave the next day.
Did you add the pepper and onion along with the salsa?
I made this as a dinner meal. I would add another cup of salsa and serve it over rice to give it more dinnertime substance. The flavor is good, and really, it couldn’t be any easier.
Service with a salad and pickled beets. Simple and inexpensive
We served it with tortilla chips….. 2 of my 3 kids are super picky, but will eat most things if I serve tortilla chips with it!
My turn to make dinner. Found this recipe and gave it a shot. My wife loved it, and had me save it to make again! Thanks for making me look like a hero!
Super basic but the template is lovely!
I used Mango Habanero Sausage and pineapple salsa. Topped with mexican cheese blend.
I love this recipe, I ended up mixing everything and baking it at the end for the extra crunch.
Wow! Now that I think about it, my mouth is watering and I can’t wait to prepare it! This dish works as well for lunch or supper. This is one of the breakfasts I’ve been planning for the guests we’ll soon be hosting. All of this is really appreciated.
this was amazing! high protein, healthy, & delicious. i will say though that its more like 2 big servings or 3 small servings depending on your appetite. this is definitely in my meal rotation now
i bought ground turkey on a whim and found this recipe after googling – what a simple yet genius idea! i had leftover spicy salsa in the fridge, and no chips, so this was perfect for me and perfect tasting. thanks!
This was so good, I added a package of taco seasoning with a 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and added some lettuce and sour cream. It’s Delicious 10/10
This is our new go to for a healthy breakfast. I pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes after following the recipe. My husband asks for this weekly now. He combines it with yogurt.
Have literally been making this every two weeks for breakfast for my husband. He pairs it with yogurt and absolutely loves it! I pop it in the even for about 10 min just to give the eggs a good mix. I use spicy salsa and it takes it over the top. One of our favorites and healthy!
This was delicious and SO easy! I often have leftover ground meat and this is such a great way to make it into another hearty meal. We’ve been doing this for breakfast but it would also be a yummy dinner! We add avocados and sour cream and flour tortillas 🙂
Cooked this for my mom, my wife and I for dinner and we all 3 loved its going into the “keeper” file! Thanks for sharing.
Can your meals be frozen.
We haven’t tried freezing this one before. It might affect the texture of the eggs. If you give it a try let us know how it turns out!
