Tips & Warnings

• Serve with green salad and fresh bread for a complete dinner meal.
• Any variety of vegetables can be used in a frittata; the choices are up to the cook. Broccoli, cauliflower and potatoes are always good.
• Frittatas are great for brown bag lunches as they hold their shape and can be eaten hot or cold.
• Chicken, seafood or other meat can be substituted for the turkey.
• To stretch the number of servings of a frittata, cook in a Dutch oven and add pre-cooked pasta.
• Cook the frittata slowly as heating too quickly will cause a burned bottom and uncooked top.
• Always cook egg dishes thoroughly to avoid any instance of salmonella.
