Turkey Leftovers? Create this Biggest Loser Egg Foo Yung!

Here is another one of my favorite dishes to use up that leftover turkey.  It makes a wonderful high protein and filling breakfast... but you could also enjoy it for lunch or even dinner.  If I were making it for one person, I would make it up as written, and then save the leftover for my lunch the next day.

I have also made it using my trusted canned chicken breast, Kirkland brand in the bright blue can, from Costco.  Instead of chopping cabbage and carrots, I use 3/4 cup of tri-color coleslaw mix.  So convenient and quick in the morning.

Try it... I bet you will love it as much as we do!  I am going to post the recipe as I found it in one of the Biggest Loser Cookbooks.   

Egg Foo Yung 
Makes 2 servings

• Olive oil cooking spray
• 1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage or fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 2 Tbsp thinly sliced scallions
• 2 Tbsp chopped red bell pepper
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
• 6 large egg whites and 1 egg (or 1-1/4 cups egg substitute)
• 2/3 cup chopped lean turkey, chicken, pork, or cooked shrimp (about 4 oz.)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 

1. Coat large non-stick saute pan lightly with cooking spray.  Saute cabbage, mushrooms, carrot, scallions, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, or until almost tender but still bright.  Transfer vegetables to bowl to cool.  Clean pan. 
2. Beat egg whites and egg in a large bowl.  Add turkey, vegetables, and black pepper.  Stir to combine.  Coat pan lightly with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.  Add egg mixture.  Cook 1 minute, or until set around edges. 
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until eggs are set in middle.  Remove from heat, covered, and let stand 2 minutes. 
4. Fold eggs in half and then cut in half before transferring to 2 plates.  Sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot with reduced-sodium soy sauce if desired.
