    Turkey Omelet

    Published: Nov 29, 2013 · Updated: Nov 29, 2013 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    I know, today is the day for cold turkey sandwiches, leftover stuffing and dinner rolls and..yum...pie, gotta be some leftover pie.  So as we all are still in our food comas, I thought I would share a recipe from an Amish lady in Illinois: turkey omelet. It sounds like a good way to use up some of that leftover turkey.

    TURKEY OMELET

    6 eggs
    ¾ cup evaporated milk
    salt and pepper, to taste
    6 teaspoons butter
    1 cup cooked turkey, chopped
    9 teaspoons onions, finely chopped
    12 teaspoons tomato sauce
    9 teaspoons green peppers, finely chopped
    3 slices sharp cheddar cheese
    Combine eggs, evaporated milk, salt and pepper. Beat well. In a separate bowl, combine turkey, onion, tomato sauce, and green pepper. Melt butter in an 8 inch skillet, preferably with rounded sides, over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Let cook, without stirring, until it is about three-quarters cooked, with just the top not cooked. Carefully loosen with a metal spatula and turn. When the underside is cooked, spread the turkey mixture on one half of the omelet. Spread the torn cheese pieces over the turkey mixture. Fold omelet over to cover the filling.
    Serve as soon as the cheese is melted.

      Morning. Clicked on
      DEACON’S MASHED POTATO CAKE: (red highlight) and got turkey omelet instead - did it twice. I assume there was a mis step in the process.

      Have a great day!
