Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 3 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1 slice reduced-fat sharp cheddar
  • 1 whole grain English muffin, toasted
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the English muffin while you heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-low.

  2. 2

    Pour the egg whites into the skillet and season. Cook undisturbed 3 minutes, until the edges set.

    Warm the turkey in the same pan for 30 seconds per side.

    Stack the avocado, egg, turkey, and hot sauce on the muffin and eat right away.

Recipe Notes

  • Weigh your protein raw for the most accurate macros.
  • Season in layers: a little salt at each stage beats a lot at the end.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently, covered, until warmed through.

Meal Prep Tips

Double the batch and portion into single-serve containers while everything is still warm. Cool uncovered for 15 minutes before sealing so condensation does not water down the sauce.

Recipe Variations

  • Swap the protein one-for-one with chicken, turkey, shrimp, or extra-firm tofu.
  • Add a cup of chopped vegetables to raise the fiber without changing the cook time.
