I love quiche, but they aren’t a favorite of my kids. My kids love omelets, but those are a hassle to make for a large crowd and so the perfect middle ground is the FRITTATA! A modified type of crustless quiche, frittatas are amazing versatile, protein rich and a great was to slip veggies into your diet.
This version is really light since it doesn’t include any cheese and it uses ground turkey instead of ground beef to cut down on the fat. I also don’t use ALL whole eggs but instead use egg whites for some of the eggs.
Putting this frittata together is pretty straight forward. Brown the ground turkey and steam the broccoli, add it to an oiled oven safe skillet (cast iron works best, but I like my non-stick anodized aluminum as well.
Combine the eggs and milk and pour that mixture over the turkey and broccoli. Cook over medium heat on the stove until the eggs are *just* set but still jiggle slightly. Finish it off in the oven until the top is browned (I like to use the broiler to get a nice crust on the top)
You can serve immediately, This recipe is great because it reheats so well. I actually like it more on the second day.
