This one-pan high-protein frittata is your answer to a quick, convenient, and high-protein breakfast. It takes less than 15 minutes to put together (my max, LOL). Brown a pound of ground turkey (or lean, grass-fed beef). Then, combine with a large carton of egg whites, chopped vegetables of your choice, and crumbled feta cheese in a baking dish. Bake until set, then cut into wedges for a delicious and portable breakfast option. This recipe is easily customizable and uses leftover vegetables, making it a great way to reduce food waste.
