Turkey and Asparagus Breakfast Casserole

Servings:
8

Ingredients:
1 lb. Asparagus, chopped into 1" segments
1 lb. ground Turkey
1 Sweet Onion, minced
1 Green Bell Pepper, finely chopped
1 small Tomato, finely chopped
4 Omega 3 Enriched Eggs
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
1/4 Almond Flour
Spices of your choice (I used garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and paprika)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Cook Asparagus in a saucepan with water until tender. Then remove from heat.
Put Turkey, Onion, Pepper, and Tomato in a large frying pan and cook until there is no pink color left in the Turkey. Mix well while cooking.
Place contents of frying pan in a glass baking dish (I used a 10" pie pan). Then lay asparagus on top of turkey.
In a mixing bowl, whisk Eggs, Coconut Milk, Almond Flour, and Spices well. Pour mixture on top of asparagus and turkey.
Bake for 30 minutes, you'll know it's done when you put a knife in the middle and it comes out clean.

As a lover of quiche, I am very happy with the way this turned out. It's savory and filling, but very healthy!

Apple and Sage Pork Rolls

Servings:
2

Ingredients:
2 Boneless Pork Chops (1/4 lb. each)
1 small Sweet Onion, minced
1 Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and chopped
8 fresh Sage Leaves
1 Tbl. Olive Oil
1 Omega 3 Enriched Egg
2 Tbl. Almond Flour
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375° F.
To make the stuffing - Heat Olive Oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add Onion, Apple, and Sage Leaves to pan. Cook and stir for a few minutes until softened.
Remove pan from heat and crack egg into pan and mix well. Add Almond Flour and Black Pepper to pan.
Set pan aside and allow stuffing to cool.
Butterfly cut the Pork Chops. Pound pork thin with a meat hammer. (I don't have a meat hammer, so I just lightly scored the meat in a criss-cross pattern on both sides.) This will get the pork thinner, easier to roll around the stuffing, and absorbs more flavor.
Place stuffing on top of the flattened pork and roll it up. Secure the pork rolls with toothpicks or tie with twine.
Back for approximately 35 minutes, or until pork is fully cooked.

This was inspired by a Paula Dean recipe, except I opted out of the butter and salt ;)
The pork roll was super juicy and savory, I will definitely make it again soon!

Spinach Omelet

Servings:
1

Ingredients:
2 Omega 3 Enriched Eggs
1 tsp. Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach, chopped
1 Tbl. Basil, finely chopped
Fresh ground Black Pepper



Directions:
Heat Olive Oil over medium heat in a frying pan.
Beat Eggs in a bowl, and pour into frying pan. Use a spatula to push edges of egg so that any uncooked egg gets directly onto pan.
Once the egg is somewhat cooked put Spinach and Basil on top of half. Grind Black Pepper onto the other half.
Flip the side with Black Pepper onto the side with Spinach and Basil.
Cook evenly on both sides for 1-2 minutes.

This is one of my favorite breakfasts because it's simple, quick, and delicious! I'm also happy to report I have mastered my omelet skills, a few months ago everything was just scrambled together :) On a similar note, I have only recently began to eat grapefruit, and I always saw people eating halves with a fork. I did not know that they cut it up first, needless to say, my first grapefruit was not a success - good thing I found a YouTube video about cutting grapefruits!
