Note

Use any leftover cooked turkey for the filling. Chicken or ham can also be used as substitutes.

For added flavor, sprinkle with salt, pepper, or herbs like chives or parsley before folding.

If you prefer a crispier exterior, cook the omelette slightly longer before folding.

Egg Beaters are pasteurized and can be used directly from the carton. Ensure they are well-shaken before pouring.
