Ingredients:

8 large Eggs
1/2 pound ground Turkey
1/2 Onion, diced
1/2 Bell Pepper (red or orange), diced
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half
1/4 cup Green Olives, sliced
1/8 cup Basil, finely chopped
4 cloves fresh Garlic, thinly sliced
4 Tablespoons grass-fed Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
 fresh Basil for garnish

Instructions:

1) In a Cast Iron pan, add 2 Tablespoons of grass-fed Butter and let melt. Add onions, garlic, bell pepper and sauté until soft.

2) Add ground Turkey, seasoning, salt, pepper and sauté until meat is cooked through.

3) Add olives and basil and stir well.

 4) Whisk eggs well in separate bowl and pour them over the contents in the Cast Iron pan. Let frittata cook on low until eggs have set and only the very top is runny.

 5) Pour 2 Tablespoons melted Butter (remaining butter) on top of Frittata as well as a few dashes of sea salt and some fresh ground pepper. Add cherry tomatoes (position them decoratively on top). You may also choose to add grated cheese at this time if tolerated.

 6) Put Frittata in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and slightly golden brown.
