with fluffy scrambled eggs, shredded potatoes, crispy bacon, ground turkey, and avocado.
A low-calorie, high protein, 5-minute breakfast bowl loaded with toppings. Say less.
If you're not having a sweet breakfast, the other option is savory. When I think of savory, my brain screams scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, potatoes, cheese, avocado, hot sauce. This breakfast has it ALL. You only need the ingredients of your choosing, a microwave, a bowl, and one big appetite.
You can also meal prep this ahead of time to keep the morning madness at bay. My toddler has discovered how to open her nursey door, so having a meal I can pull and heat from the fridge is a must. The base is shredded hash browns, egg whites, spices, lean ground turkey, salsa, and turkey bacon. I love to top mine with fresh tomatoes, a fried egg, green onion, lime juice, and sriracha. They recipe is totally customizable and hits the spot every time.
"This bowl is a fantastic way to start the day."
Ingredients you need?
*Eggs – You can use egg whites, whole eggs, or flax egg.
*Ground Turkey – I use 99% lean mixed with a bit of chicken broth and salsa. You can also use beef, sausage, chicken, tofu, or even black beans.
*Hash browns– I use frozen Ore-ida shredded, but you can also use diced, russet, or sweet potatoes.
*Bacon – Turkey bacon is my go-to, but you can also sub regular bacon bits or ham.
*Cheese - My bowl uses fat free mozzarella and cheddar, but use any cheese you prefer.
*Toppings - Options are endless! Avocado, fried egg, hot sauce, tortilla chips, cream, cilantro, pico de gallo.
Hash Brown Bowl
Ingredients:
BASE
• 2 c frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
• 1/2 tsp salt, pinch pepper
• 1/4 tsp: garlic + onion powder, chili flakes
• 2/3 c egg whites
• 4 oz ground turkey (salt, pepper to taste)
• 2 - 4 tbsp salsa *optional
• 2 slices turkey bacon, crumbled
TOPPINGS
• 30g fat-free shredded cheese
• Cherry tomatoes, diced
• Green onion
• 2 fried eggs *optional
• Avocado
• Sriracha
• 1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
(Serves 2)
Method:
BASE:
1. To a greased, microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup shredded hash browns, repeat for the 2nd bowl.
2. Pour 1/3 c of egg whites evenly over the potatoes. Add seasonings, and microwave for 1 minute. Remove, mix up using a fork, and microwave another minute. The egg whites should be cooked.
3. Top the eggy potato mix with your protein of choice. I pre-cook ground turkey and bacon (both crumbled) ahead of time to add to my bowl. I also mix chunky salsa and some chicken broth into my ground turkey.
4. Mix the potato, eggs, turkey, and bacon together using a fork. Add toppings, and enjoy!
TOPPINGS:
1. This is completely optional: If you have an extra couple minutes, I suggest quickly frying a egg to top your bowl. It gives even more flavor and an added protein boost.
2. If you want to cook your eggs over easy: I added two cookie cutters to a skillet on medium-low heat, sprayed everything with olive oil, and cracked an egg into each cookie cutter. Season with salt, pepper. I covered the pan with a lid and cooked the eggs for about 3 - 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Your egg whites should be set.
3. Pre-made bacon: place the slices of bacon in a greased skillet and cook on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side. Set on a paper towel to cool before crumbling.
4. Pre-made ground turkey: place the turkey in a greased skillet and cook on medium heat, about 2 minutes per side. Use a spatula to break up the protein into crumbles, season with salt, pepper, garlic, and this is where I add in a little broth and salsa.
5. Slice avocado, tomatoes, and green onion. Add all to each bowl with a little hot sauce, lime, and everything bagel seasoning.
MEAL-PREPPING:
1. If you are meal-prepping these bowls, I suggest making the fried egg for topping fresh. Adding lime juice to the avocado will keep it from quickly browning. Store in sealed containers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Pull from the fridge, serve some fresh fruit on the side, tuck in and enjoy!
