Ingredients
Scale
For the Turkey Breakfast Patties:
- 1 lb ground turkey (preferably lean)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
For the Avocado and Egg:
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Make the Turkey Breakfast Patties:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. - Form Patties:
Shape the turkey mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. - Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). - Prepare the Eggs:
In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your liking—fried sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled. - Assemble the Dish:
To serve, place one turkey patty on each plate. Top with sliced avocado and a fried egg. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) for an extra kick. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the turkey patties during the last minute of cooking.
- If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can cook the turkey patties and store them in the fridge. Reheat and top with avocado and eggs when ready to serve.
- You can also switch the turkey patties for chicken or beef patties if preferred.
