Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup salsa
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Start by heating the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. It’s important to get the oil hot enough so that the ground meat can brown properly. Look for a shimmering effect on the surface of the oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the ground meat to the skillet. Stir it occasionally, breaking it apart as it cooks. You want to keep an eye on it and cook until there is no more pink visible, which should take about eight minutes. Once it's browned, this will ensure that your meat is cooked through and safe to eat.
- Next, add the salsa to the skillet with the browned meat. Mix it well, ensuring the meat is coated evenly. Allow this to cook together for about three minutes, which will heat the salsa and meld the flavors beautifully.
- Finally, crack the eggs directly into the skillet. You can break them up slightly with a spatula or leave them whole, depending on your preference. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook to your desired consistency, which will take between five to eight minutes. You’re looking for a cooked white and a runny or firm yolk, depending on how you like your eggs.
