Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 12 ounces peeled Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 6 oz leftover turkey breast
  • 1 loose cup baby spinach
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 oz grated Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by setting your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.

  2. 2

    In a sizable mixing bowl, crack open the eggs along with the egg whites. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a dash of freshly cracked black pepper, then whisk together until well combined. Fold in the cheese.

  3. 3

    Place a 10-inch nonstick skillet that is safe for oven use over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Pour in the oil and toss in the onions, sautéing them until they reach a golden hue, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Incorporate the sweet potatoes and thyme into the skillet. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt, along with garlic powder, paprika, and a dash of black pepper. Cover the skillet and allow the sweet potatoes to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are both crispy and tender, approximately 12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in the chopped turkey, mixing it well with the other ingredients in the skillet. Add the spinach and continue cooking until it wilts down, which will take about 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Carefully pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Lower the heat to low and allow it to cook until the edges begin to firm up, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes.

  8. 8

    Move the skillet into the preheated oven and bake until the frittata is fully set and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, take it out of the oven, slice it into 6 wedges, and enjoy your dish!
