So yesterday, we returned home from a long weekend away. The first thing I did was grocery shop! I love grocery shopping, and I’ll do almost anything to avoid unpacking. I didn’t go to the store with a plan; I just picked up my basics; 2 pounds ground turkey breast, eggs and LaCroix water. (which is just essential for living, if you ask me). When I finally decided what to cook this morning, I decided on these yummy Southwestern frittata cups.
These are a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack. The fish is high-protein and low-carb, and your veggies are built right in!
Tip: I only used a tiny bit of the ground turkey for this Southwestern frittata cups recipe, but I will save the rest and use it on top of salads or burritos later in the week.
I prefer spiralized sweet potatoes rather than chopped ones for this recipe. Spiralized potatoes saute faster because they are so thin and require less chopping.
