Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Turkey and Egg Scramble with Cream Cheese
Description: Browned Meijer ground turkey is scrambled together with Eggland's Best eggs and dollops of Philadelphia cream cheese in a single skillet, creating a rich and creamy high-protein breakfast-for-dinner that keeps net carbs well under 5g per serving. The cream cheese melts into the eggs for a velvety texture that makes this dish feel indulgent while staying strictly low-carb.
