Scrambled Eggs with Sautéed Meat takes its cue from Turkish kavurma: meat cooked ahead of time, often in its own fat, then warmed in a pan with eggs. The meat and seasoning vary by household and region. The eggs are usually stirred until softly set, with browned pieces of meat throughout.
In Turkey, it is a hearty breakfast, often served hot with bread and tea, though it also makes an easy brunch or quick meal. Eggs and meat make it protein-rich and satisfying, while the meat’s cooking fat can make the dish quite rich. For a lighter plate, use less added fat and serve it with fresh tomatoes, greens or other vegetables.
