Turkey Chop Breakfast



4-6 sm grilled (well seasoned) turkey chops
1/4 green pepper thinly sliced
1/2 onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup steak sauce

2 kaiser rolls
4 tbsp garlic cheese/butter*

1/2 bag steak fries (frozen)
salt
pepper
dried oregano
dried basil
1/4 cup vegetable oil

4 lg eggs
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp butter

Last night I had friends and family over for grilled turkey chops. Believe it or not there was some left over, so I created another meal for my family this morning. Enjoy!!!

1. Thinly slice cold turkey into strips, place in pot and add remaining ingredients.
Cook covered on medium high heat for 7-10 minutes. Then cut the pot down to medium
low heat and simmer for another 10 minutes (while you are preparing the potatoes).

2. Heat the vegetable oil on medium high heat, add the fries, seasonings, & stir
to coat the fries with the oil and seasonings. Let it begin to sizzle and crisp
up the fries. Toss frequently (use a heat resistant spatula so you don't tear the
fries).

3. Crack the eggs, whisk with the milk. Melt butter in pan fries were cooked in (all
the seasonings from the fries will be lightly incorporated in the eggs) on medium
heat, add your eggs and stir.

4. Toast kaiser rolls, each half will go on a plate. Spread 1 tbsp butter/cheese on
each half, then top with 1/4 of the turkey chop mixture.
Serve with breakfast fries & scrambled eggs

*CHEESE/BUTTER
1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp dried chives
4 oz garlic cheese spread
Mix all ingredients together, until nice n smooth. Reserve the rest to put on sandwiches, grilled corn, mix into pasta or rice.
