instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces).

    3

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until they are slightly tender, stirring occasionally to ensure they don’t stick.

    4

    While the potatoes are cooking, chop the onion finely.

    5

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the potatoes and stir. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

    6

    In a bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    7

    Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart until cooked through and no longer pink.

    8

    Pour the egg mixture over the turkey and potatoes in the skillet. Stir carefully to combine all ingredients evenly.

    9

    Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the top.

    10

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    11

    Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
