Introduction
This is super easy and even my picky eater will gobble it up (as long as he has Tasbasco!). Also GF and soy free!For a sturdier frittata, add 2 more egg whites. I served this with Refried Sweet Potatoes. This is super easy and even my picky eater will gobble it up (as long as he has Tasbasco!). Also GF and soy free!

Ingredients
-
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup carrots, diced ( I like mine about 1/4 in.)
2 medium Summer squash (about two cups)
2 cloves Garlic, diced fine
2 small jalepenos (these are from our pepper plant out back, so they're pretty small compared to some I have seen in the store. )
1 small serrano pepper
2 medium tomatoes (I used heirlooms from my sister's garden, not terribly juicy..which is good)
1 cup Corn, frozen (canned would do just fine)
1 cup chopped cooked turkey breast (I used Louis Rich)
8 egg whites (and two more for a sturdier frittata)
2 egg yolks
Dash of onion powder
1/2 tsp Chipolte
Salt
Pepper (preferably fresh cracked)
Creole Seasoning mix (love this stuff! I like the Spice Hunter salt free variety)
Directions
Makes 6 wedges.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
While it heats beat your eggs with a fork, the chipolte and a dash of onion powder. I also add a dash of salt and pepper.
Once warm, add carrots, garlic, peppers and squash. Dash of salt to heat sweat the veggies and I always dust it with some cracked pepper.
Cook till the carrots are just starting to get tender, then add the tomatoes and frozen corn. Sprinkle liberally with creole seasoning.
Cook all this down, stirring regularly, until you are getting the right texture. I like mine to still have a bit of bite to them, so for me it's when the carrots are just shy of perfect.
Add the turkey, toss to mix and heat through. Add a little more creole seasoning if needed.
Add egg mixture. I make sure to stir once or twice right after it's in to coat the ingredients and then spread out in as even a layer as possible.
Turn on your broiler. Once the edges have set and there is only a slight jiggle in the middle when you wiggle it, toss it under the broiler. Not the top shelf but the middle one. May take a little longer but I have better control of the browning on top. Remove once there is no jiggle and GBD (golden brown and delicious).
Remove from oven. I let mine set for a minute or tow before cutting to let it cool slightly. Holds it shape better when trying to scoop out.
Separate into 6 wedges, dish up and enjoy!
