Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1-2 jalapeño peppers, diced (seeds removed for milder spice)

1 cup frozen or fresh corn

1 cup diced green chili peppers (canned or fresh)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 large eggs

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Olive oil for cooking

Optional: shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack) for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Skillet: In a large skillet, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set it over medium heat, allowing the oil to warm up.

    Cook the Turkey: Once the skillet is hot, add the ground turkey. Using a wooden spoon, break it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.

      Sauté Vegetables: Incorporate the diced onion, minced garlic, green bell pepper, and diced jalapeños into the skillet. Sauté the mixture for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften.

        Season: Stir in the corn, green chili peppers, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and allow them to cook together for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and flavors meld.

          Create Wells for Eggs: Use a spoon to form four small wells in the turkey and vegetable mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

            Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, checking occasionally, until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook them for a few minutes longer.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from heat once the eggs reach your desired doneness. Top the dish with slices of avocado, sprinkle generously with fresh cilantro, and add shredded cheese if you’d like.

                Enjoy: Serve the dish hot directly from the skillet for a communal feel, or portion it into individual bowls for a more personal touch.
