Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup diced onion, 1/2 diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 diced yellow bell pepper, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 8 oz ground turkey, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, for 7-8 minutes until turkey is browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: In a separate small skillet, cook 2 large eggs sunny-side up over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  4. Step 4: Divide the cooked turkey and pepper mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with 1 cooked egg and 1/4 medium diced ripe avocado.
  5. Step 5: Garnish each bowl with 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
