Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 pound turkey chorizo or breakfast sausage
- 1 bell pepper, chopped

Step 3 –Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
Step 4 –Add the chorizo, pepper, tomatoes, and onion, and saute, breaking the meat up into small pieces, until just cooked through, about 6 -7 minutes.
Step 5 –Add the potato and saute over medium-low heat until the flavors are combined.
Step 6 –Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 7 –In a medium bowl whisk the eggs together with the milk, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.
