Cut the grilled turkey into slices and place on top of the toast. Remove the tomato salad from the fridge and place it on the plate and there you have it.
Best Healthy Breakfast #2 - Spicy Broccoli Omelet
I love broccoli. Well actually I love all greens. I sometimes would make this dish with brussels sprouts rather than broccoli as they surprisingly packed with protein, however, I thought for this option broccoli was the more favourable choice of veggie!
Ingredients:

- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
Method:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and add the chopped broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with some cayenne pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan over the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes then flip and cook the other side.
