Ingredients:

Meat:

  • 1/4 cup Turkey, cooked and shredded

Produce:

  • 1 Fresh sage leaf, finely chopped
  • 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Shiitake mushroom, fresh, thinly sliced

Refrigerated:

  • 2 Eggs

Baking & Spices:

  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • Pinch of ground white pepper

Oils & Vinegars:

  • 1 2/3 tbsp Olive oil

Dairy:

  • 2 tsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Creme fraiche

Beer, Wine & Liquor:

  • 1 tsp Dry vermouth

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Shred the cooked turkey into small pieces and set aside.
    • Finely chop the fresh sage leaf and thinly slice the shallot and shiitake mushroom.
  2. Whisk the Eggs:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Season with salt and ground white pepper.
  3. Sauté the Filling:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shallot and shiitake mushroom to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the shredded turkey and chopped sage to the skillet, along with the red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is heated through and the flavors are combined. Remove the filling from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Cook the Omelette:
    • Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and return it to the stove. Heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
    • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and tilt the pan to spread them evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  5. Add the Filling:
    • Spoon the cooked turkey and mushroom filling onto one half of the omelette. Top with a dollop of creme fraiche and drizzle with dry vermouth.
  6. Fold and Serve:
    • Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling to enclose it. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the filling is heated through.
    • Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh sage leaves, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Cook’s Notes and Variations:

  • Cheese Lover’s Delight: For an extra indulgent omelette, sprinkle shredded cheese such as Gruyere or cheddar over the filling before folding the omelette.
  • Veggie Power: Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for added color and nutrition.
  • Herbaceous Twist: Experiment with different fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley to elevate the flavor profile of the omelette.

Keto and Low Carb Versions:

  • Keto Option: To make a keto-friendly version of the Turkey Filled Omelette, omit the shallots and reduce the amount of onion to lower the carb content. Serve with a side of avocado or a small salad for a satisfying low-carb meal.
  • Low Carb Option: Substitute the shallots with green onions or chives for a lower-carb alternative. You can also skip the dry vermouth and use chicken broth or water instead to reduce the carb count.
