Green Eggs and Turkey

This recipe is from Paleo Comfort Foods, and was DELICIOUS!


  • 2 lbs ground turkey 
  • pepper/salt
  • TBSP coconut oil
  • 2 c onions, chopped
  • 4 c broccoli, chopped [used 1.5 cups]
  • 2 c artichoke hears [super bummed - did not have these on hand for round one, but for round two I WILL]
  • ‘handful’ of spinach, roughly chopped [used about 4 cups]
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tblsp fresh basil 
  • 12 large eggs
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In large skillet, brown turky meat with salt and pepper, drain liqued off and put turkey meat into bottom of greased 9×13″ baking dish. [I tossed everything in a bowl - meat, veggies (coming up), etc. Mixed, put in dish, then poured eggs.]
  3. Using same skillet, heat coconut oil, saute onions until translucent, add brocc, artichoke [or other veggies - save the fresh herbs - add before you put into baking dish], other veggies, saute for a bit, add paprika. take off of heat, add fresh herbs.
  4. while veggies are cooking, whisk the eggs in a bowl, add a bit of salt and pepper.
  5. when veggies are done, turn off heat and add in fresh herbs. Mix well, then put in baking dish.
  6. pour eggs over meat and veggies.
  7. bake for about 45 minutes or until eggs are done in the middle.
If you are using a cast iron skillet or other iron proof cookware, you can just mix it all in and then put in oven.  I used cast iron, and then baked it.  You probably will not need to cook it for the full 45 minutes if everything is still hot.
