Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground peppercorns
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
  • 26 curry leaves, roughly torn (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
  • 4 dried red chiles
  • 1 large red or yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno (cored and seeded if you prefer a milder flavor), chopped
  • 4 cups shredded, cooked turkey or shredded deli turkey
  • 2 large tomatoes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Method

  • Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and the ground peppercorns in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil with the garlic, curry leaves (if using), cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and chiles in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the cumin is fragrant and golden and the mustard seeds begin to pop, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the onion, jalapeno, and 2 teaspoons of salt, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the shredded turkey, cook for 1 minute, and then mix in the tomatoes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the tomatoes release their liquid, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the eggs.
  • Mix the eggs into the turkey and vegetables and cook until the eggs begin to set, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
  • Mix in all but 2 tablespoons of the cilantro and cook for 30 seconds longer if you like soft eggs, or 1 minute longer if your prefer medium-cooked eggs.
  • Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with the reserved cilantro, and serve.
