Nutrition (per serving)
We've all been there—it's late, you're hungry, and you want something that feels indulgent without the heavy calories. This scramble is my absolute go-to for those midnight cravings because it's lightning-fast and packs a serious protein punch. It's the perfect way to satisfy a savory appetite while keeping your nutrition goals on track, especially when you need something more substantial than a protein shake.
The secret is in the seasoning; by browning the lean ground turkey first with some garlic powder and a generous squeeze of Sriracha, you get that bold, savory flavor that hits the spot. The spinach adds a fresh earthiness and a bit of volume without the extra weight. It's clean, lean, and exactly what you need to end the night on a high note without waking up feeling sluggish the next morning.
Ingredients
- 99% lean ground turkey breast:4 oz
- Liquid egg whites:½ cup
- Fresh baby spinach:1 cup
- Sriracha sauce:1 tbsp
- Garlic powder:½ tsp
- Onion powder:¼ tsp
- Olive oil spray:1 piece
- Salt and black pepper:1 pinch
Instructions
-
Place a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with a quick spray of olive oil.
-
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
-
Season the turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Add the fresh baby spinach and sauté for about 1 minute, or just until the leaves have wilted.
-
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the egg whites. Stir constantly, folding the egg whites into the turkey and spinach.
-
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the eggs are set and opaque but still tender.
-
Transfer the scramble to a bowl and drizzle with the Sriracha sauce before serving.
Tips & Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, nutty profile without the extra fat.
- Don't overcook the egg whites; they cook very quickly and are best when they are just firm and still look moist.
- If you like it extra spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while browning the turkey.
