Ingredients for Turkey-Filled Omelette:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey, shredded
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced

How to Make Turkey-Filled Omelette:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded turkey to the skillet and heat through.
- Pour the egg mixture over the turkey and vegetables in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelette and tilting the skillet to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

- Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
