Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup sliced mushrooms (any variety you like)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (go for the full-fat version for richness)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
4 turkey sausages (make sure they're low in added sugars and carbs)

Directions

Let's get started with the omelet first:

In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them until they're tender and lightly browned. This should take around 4-5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Pour in the beaten eggs, making sure they cover the entire pan evenly.
As the eggs start to cook, gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing any uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan.
When the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and chopped green onions over one-half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press it gently with the spatula to ensure the cheese melts and everything sticks together.
Let the omelet cook for another minute or so until the cheese is gooey and delicious.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and your mouthwatering Mushroom and Cheese Omelet is ready to enjoy!

Now, let's whip up those tasty turkey sausages:

Heat a separate skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausages to the skillet, cooking them for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they're fully cooked and nicely browned.
Once the turkey sausages are done, serve them alongside your scrumptious omelet.
