Herb Lemon Turkey Frittata

Serves: 4, Makes 8 Frittatas

Ingredients:

Frittata

  • 1 pound Black Bear® Oven Roasted Catering Style Breast of Turkey, finely julienned
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked al dente
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from about 12 large eggs) or egg substitute
  • 2 cups finely julienned fresh spinach
  • 1 medium red onion, julienned & steamed al dente
  • 1 large red bell pepper, finely julienned & steamed al dente
  • 1 large green bell pepper, finely julienned & steamed al dente
  • 2 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed, finely julienned & steamed al dente
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Ratatouille

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 large eggplant, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 yellow squash, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground white pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare the Frittatas: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together all ingredients until well combined.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, using a large fork to twist them into “nests.”

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with vegetable cooking spray.  Place the “nests” in the skillet, flatten out to about 1/2 inch thick.  Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the frittatas are cooked completely through, about 8 minutes.  Keep warm.

Prepare the Ratatouille: Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the garlic, and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the onion and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Toss in the eggplant and squash and stir in the tomato paste. Raise the heat to high, bring to a boil, and boil for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the tomatoes, cook for 1 minute more, and season with salt and white pepper.

Divide the ratatouille among four plates and top with two frittatas per plate.
