TURKEY and SWEET POTATO OMELETTE (a 3 banana level difficulty)


At this point, you may be in the same boat as me.  I have a lot of Thanksgiving leftovers.  I do like to re-create the Thanksgiving Dinner Feast, but eventually I need to do something different with those leftovers.

Let me introduce the "Turkey & Sweet Potato Omelette" a Thanksgiving leftover production!

The hardest part of this is actually cooking the omelette.  Don't worry, you'll be able to handle this.  Let's get started!

WHAT YOU NEED:
3-4 Eggs per Omelette
Kosher Salt to Taste
Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste
1 c Fresh Spinach
1/4 Avocado per Omelette - Sliced
Shredded Cheese (Stella Fontinella is what I used)
Olive Oil (or Coconut Oil)
Leftover Turkey - Torn/Cut into small pieces
Leftover Sweet Potato Dish (optional) - www.anymonkeycan.com/2010/12/sweet-potato-hash.html

WHAT ELSE YOU NEED:
Large Skillet
Medium Skillet
Rubber Spatula
Medium Bowl
Whisk

WHAT YOU DO:
1.  Drizzle 1 T of Oil onto the Large Skillet & heat over Medium
2.  Add Thanksgiving leftovers (Turkey, etc) & cook until warm, about 6-8 minutes. 


3.  Add the Spinach to the Large Skillet & Cook until Wilted, about 3-5 minutes

4.  Heat 1 T of Oil in the MEDIUM Skillet over Medium Heat.  Whisk Eggs, Salt & Pepper in Medium Bowl until they fully combine.
5.  Pour the Egg mixture into the MEDIUM Skillet.

6.  As the Omelette cooks on the bottom & edges, use your Rubber Spatula to GENTLY lift up an edge, then SLOWLY tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg runs underneath the lifted edge & onto the pan.  Rotate the pan & repeat the Lift & Tilt method until most of the top of the omelette has been cooked.
7.  Sprinkle the ENTIRE omelette with Salt & Pepper
8.  Sprinkle half the omelette with the Cheese.
9.  Add the Turkey, Spinach etc on top of the 1/2 sprinkled with cheese.  Take care not to over fill.

10.  Using the Rubber Spatula, carefully Fold the omelette half over the top of your filling.
11.  Serve & Enjoy!!

There you go!  When you are tired of Turkey sandwiches, give a Turkey Sweet Potato Omelette a go!  I wonder what else I can do with Thanksgiving Leftovers...oh yeah, Turkey Lentil Rice Soup.  Maybe tomorrow I'll get that one posted!

Until next time, your friendly neighborweb Monkey!
