Thai Omelette With Turkey Sausage, Khai Jea Sai Krok

A Thai omelette is a common find at Thai restaurants in Thailand and abroad, we put turkey sausage in this one.  You usually find them with pork, chicken or shrimp, sriracha and cilantro.  Thai people are very creative though and what makes it a Thai style omelet is the shape and style in which it is cooked. You can read more on the history of the omelette here.  We, of course, always rehabilitate our recipes a little to make them healthier and I did that here too.

Thai Omelet with Turkey Sausage

Modifications we made to make our Khai Jeaw healthier

First, I really salivate when sausage companies show their sausage in a skillet and needed an excuse to reproduce their effective ads.

Sriracha Turkey Sausage

Usually, in Thailand, you will see the omelets deep fried but that isn’t healthy enough for us so we do it in a wok or skillet.  They are usually served with sriracha sauce and cilantro.  We had cilantro but Mod thought the onions looked better as a topping.  They were definitely more flavorful.  I also saved back some of the grilled sriracha and tequila turkey sausage and poured its succulent sauce over mine.

Here’s what you’ll need

Ingredients:

• ½ turkey sausage cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon green onion chopped
• 2 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil
• 4 egg whites and 1 yolk
• Sriracha and strong alcohol (optional*)

Instructions:

1. Stir-fry the sausage with 1 of the tablespoon of oil on high with a little sriracha sauce to taste.  I also threw in a splash of tequila but that’s optional and not typical Thai style.  It’s just Saturday night and I needed the extra bite!
2. Remove the sausage and mix it with the eggs and onion.
3. Heat the second tablespoon of oil on high until it's boiling hot and add the egg mixture.
4. Spread the eggs across the bottom of the pan to make a large pancake shape.
5. Cover the pan with the lid and cook 1 minute and then gently flip the omelet.
