Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 slices of whole-grain bread
- 8 ounces of ground turkey
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Cook the turkey for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- While the turkey is cooking, cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit.
- Using a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the bowl to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth, depending on your preference.
- Season the mashed avocado with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. You can cook them sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled, depending on your preference.
- Cook the eggs for about 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. If you prefer your yolks runny, aim for sunny-side up or over-easy.
- Once cooked, remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy.
- If you prefer, you can also brush the bread with a little olive oil before toasting for added flavor.
- Once the bread is toasted, take each slice and spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado on top.
- Next, layer the cooked ground turkey evenly over the avocado spread on each slice.
- Carefully place one cooked egg on top of the turkey on each toast.
- If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the eggs for a bit of heat.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve the avocado turkey egg toasts immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
- Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
- These toasts can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch or dinner.
Notes
- If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
- The mashed avocado can be stored for up to 1 day, but its best to consume it fresh to avoid browning.
- The cooked turkey can be stored for up to 3 days, and the eggs can be reheated gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
