Hearty Vegetable and Turkey Sausage Frittata (Turned Omelet)!

Hearty Vegetable and Turkey Sausage Frittata (Turned Omelet)!

A frittata is quite similar to an omelet, in that it is also made of eggs in a skillet.  Really, the only differences include whipping air into the eggs, cooking it without folding, cooking at a lower temperature, and cooking it a little longer. The frittata gets more done on one side  and is often served whole….kind of like an open-faced omelet.  If made in a larger skillet, it is sliced like a pie.  In Italy, potatoes or pasta is often added to it for a heartier meal.

My frittata was so full of ingredients (though not any potatoes or pasta), that it fell apart coming out of the pan…..so, I shaped it on my plate like an omelet.  A girl needs attractive food, you know!  Since I have been in Italy, I like the Italian word….so….mine is still being called a frittata, though it appears to be the American version. This frittata/omelete recipe would be a perfect breakfast for my Primal eating friends and quite spicy.

Hi, my name is Susan and I have only been blogging for a few months but I love it. Permanent Posies (Creative Chaos) is my blog and my subject matter is…well, that depends on the day and the mood. But, for the most part, I love cooking, watching the Food Network, reading cookbooks and, of course, eating. I am also an artist and spend time each week in my studio (bedroom) oil painting. I am a mother of four and a grandmother to 5 and that, along with my husband and 2 dogs, take up my most of my time. I am a side-tracked Home Executive and I had the privilege of being a stay –at-home mom so, you might say that my passion is the home and making a haven for those I love. I am quite skilled at shopping 🙂 and finding a bargain just makes my day.
