Easy Omelet - Low Fat, High Protein

Do you like to sleep in on the weekends then get up and make a hot, tasty breakfast? Maybe you read the paper or watch This Old House while leisurely enjoying your breakfast and a cup of steaming coffee.

Here’s a great omelet that’s easy to make, is low in fat, and has the protein and veggies you need to get your day started right. You can even toss on a side of turkey bacon or turkey sausage since this omelet is only 155 calories!

5 egg whites or Egg Beaters (75 cal.)
1 slice smoked turkey (20 cal.)
1 cup frozen broccoli florets (20 cal.)
1/8 cup shredded Italian cheese (40 cal.)

Wisk the egg whites with a fork and add your favorite seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, black or red pepper). Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in egg whites. Microwave broccoli for 90 seconds. After you flip your omelet, turn the heat to low. Top with turkey, broccoli and cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
