Hearty Vegetable and Turkey Sausage Frittata (Turned Omelet)

A good breakfast recipe is a great way to start your day, or brunch, sometimes for lunch, and always good at dinner! So, a frittata or omelet, whichever the case may be, is a good recipe to have on hand for any meal.

Today we’re going to make a frittata/omelet that will have your family begging for more. Let’s get to it.

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.
