Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground turkey
- 4 eggs
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or sage
Cooking and Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for cooking patties and eggs)
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground turkey with aromatic spices including salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Carefully shape the seasoned turkey mixture into 8 compact, slightly flattened patties, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent cooking.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, creating an even cooking surface for the patties.
- Gently place patties in the heated skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown exterior and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Simultaneously, melt butter in a separate non-stick pan over medium-low heat for preparing sunny-side-up eggs.
- Delicately crack eggs into the buttered pan, allowing whites to set while maintaining a runny yolk, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Arrange cooked turkey patties on serving plates, adorning each with creamy avocado slices.
- Crown each patty with a perfectly prepared sunny-side-up egg and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are hot and flavors are at their peak, ensuring a delightful Turkish-inspired breakfast experience.
Notes
- Select ground turkey with a slightly higher fat content for juicier patties that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Gently mix meat seasonings to prevent overworking the protein, which can make patties tough and dense.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness and food safety without guessing internal temperature.
- Create dairy-free version by replacing butter with olive oil and using plant-based egg alternatives for flexible dietary needs.
