Turkish Menemen Scramble with Spiced Ground Turkey

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium heat (160°C/320°F).

2. 2

   Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

3. 3

   Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add ground turkey to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

   Season the turkey with cumin, paprika, Turkish red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

6. 6

   Add diced bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

7. 7

   Add diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and create a chunky sauce.

8. 8

   Create small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into the wells. Alternatively, beat eggs lightly and pour over the entire mixture.

9. 9

   Reduce heat to low and gently scramble the eggs with the turkey and vegetable mixture, stirring carefully to combine without overcooking the eggs.

    Cook for 2-3 more minutes until eggs are just set but still creamy.

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
