Easy Breakfast Skillet
Maybe you’ve never thought of making a breakfast skillet out of ground turkey, salsa and eggs, but I’m here to tell you it’s super delicious and well worth the 20 or so minutes it takes to make! For me, I’d prefer to skip the sweeter choices at breakfast and instead go for the savory that’s going to fuel me for the day. This easy breakfast skillet does the trick! It’s also super customizable by adding in whatever else you have on hand to make it a bit more special. My one piece of advice for this is to use a good quality salsa, as a lot of the flavor comes from that.
Ingredients Needed
- Ground Turkey or Ground Beef
- Good-Quality Salsa
- Eggs
Optional Additions
Optional AdditionsThe options are endless in terms of what you could add in here! You can add in whatever veggie you may have at home such as:
- leftover roasted veggies
- spinach
- kale
- tomatoes
- peppers
- frozen veggies such as corn
Additionally you could change it up a bit and add in some:
- spices such as chili powder or taco seasoning
- canned beans
- leftover rice
Make Ahead Options
While this is already a pretty simple dish to put together, you can optional prepare a batch of the turkey and salsa ahead of time. It will last in the refrigerator from 3-5 days. In the morning you could either heat it up in a pan, toaster or microwave and fry up an egg to top it off with.

I don’t, but thank you for reaching out!
I had some ground turkey to use up to make dinner… didn’t have any salsa but did have a can of tomatoes with green chiles so I used that instead and also threw in some leftover, cooked sweet potato chunks. It was a hit! Next time, I’ll have to try it the original way!
I have discovered that my body is sick and allergic to many things. Help me enjoy food again PLEASE HELP ME. I AM TIRED OF PAIN
I can relate. I am 70 and have arthrItis in both knees. It was so painful that I could not walk. Just over a year ago I began eating organic fruits and vegetables, chicken, turkey, and fish, nuts, and good oils. No processed foods, no grain, no dairy, on and off with eggs, no nightshade, no legumes. I bought a spiralizer and and a juicer. I already had a food processor. I have stuck to the plan and a year later I can walk again and even without pain. I lost 50 pounds last year and I can’t remember when I felt this good. I kicked 2 prescriptions and I am hopefully soon going to kick the other 2, and be med-free. Inflammation is the problem so I went online to find everything I could about it. Then I looked for paleo recipes. I learned to avoid the things that would increase inflammation and choose those that would help to heal my body. I make bone broth with all the bones, and drink it daily as well as use it in recipes. I prayed for God to help me know what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. I probably enjoy my food now more than ever because it is fresh and delicious, and I know I am putting healthy food into my body. There are so many delicious recipes and ideas online that I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything. I have also taken some of my favorites and made paleo substitutions so that I can still enjoy my favorites. I hope you can find a plan that works for you.
I am so happy for you!!!!
supper tonight !!!
Tried it last night, came out great! Had two questions:
1) When cooking the turkey initially, do you empty the fat that comes out prior to adding the salsa?
2) Do you drain the liquid content of the salsa prior to adding and use only the solid portion?
Thanks!
I don’t drain — just toss it right in! I suppose if it’s very watery salsa you can 🙂
Thanks! I can’t cook anything but I tried his and it was delicious and super easy. I should have used slightly hotter salsa since the eggs cut it down a bit but it was great.
SOOO good! I have added some gluten free potatoes to increase the awesomeness but can obvi be deleted at anytime. Everything about this is amazing. Having it for dinner right now!
This is Great..I Added Chopped up Kale, I have so much growing, and some crimini mushrooms..
Thanx.
Do you keep the heat on while the eggs cook?
Yes.
I used some deer burger we had in freezer and it was fabulous! So easy & delicious! My hubby loved it!
This would definitely have me jumping out of bed in the morning to eat! Wow looks so flavorful and delicious!
Totally trying this with some organic fresh ground sausage I just bought and mixing it up with crushed roasted tomatoes! THANKS!!!
Looks awesome! Also wondering if egg whites would work, I’m not a fan of runny eggs 🙂 And, what salsa do use or recommend?
Thanks!
Yes, egg whites works! I use this salsa: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NLVKI48/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NLVKI48&linkCode=as2&tag=lexiscleankit-20&linkId=PIZAAM574QDT7EXK (affiliate link) and get it at BJ’s!
oh my goodnes, this is the best breakfast I have ever seen! now I need to go get some turkey
UM YES! THIS is happening today!! I am going to convince my friend to just come over for lunch as opposed to us going out!!!
I eat a breakfast skillet almost every day. Can’t wait to switch things up and try this one! 🙂
this looks delicious, but i do not like eggs cooked with the yolk still “there”! I’m curious if i would be able to pour egg whites over this?
Yes totally!
I have not had breakfast yet. Now I need to run to the kitchen and make these. Oh man look at those gorgeously runny eggs.
Those drippy yolks! I am dying over their perfection. Also, how easy is this skillet? Love how much spice is packed right on in! Pinned!
