Best Keto Turmeric Fried Eggs
Start your GI tract off right in the morning with these Keto breakfast turmeric fried eggs. Turmeric is a fabulous spice that cooks to a beautiful golden-red hue and is very aromatic. It also happens to be great for your digestive system! Turmeric naturally wakes up your insides so you’re less likely to feel any discomfort throughout the day. Pair your eggs with a Keto mug biscuit, a high-fat smoothie, or a protein shake. This way, you get all the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, protein, and healthy fats all in one meal. Especially since we’re talking about breakfast, this is the most important meal of the day!
Benefits of turmeric
Turmeric is used to regulate the GI tract by many health and holistic professionals. Turmeric acts as an anti-inflammatory, meaning you should feel more energetic and healthy during the day. Adding a little bit to your meals each day will keep you feeling regular and detoxed too.
Why is black pepper needed with turmeric?
Black pepper is not necessarily required for you to absorb turmeric, but it sure does help. Pepper mixed with turmeric can increase your curcumin absorption by 2000% percent. Just add a pinch to ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to your meal whenever you’re using turmeric.
Egg cooking times
For a runny fried egg, cook the egg for just 4-5 minutes and break the whites continuously. A medium-fried egg takes about 6minutes. A well-done fried egg will take closer to 8 minutes to finish frying. If you like more well-done fried eggs, adjust your stove heat as necessary to avoid burning and use a pan lid to trap heat.

Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. For medium-fried eggs, about 6 minutes will do. You can also break the whites in the pan to cook the egg faster or to lesser doneness.Step 3

It’s actually good. Gave the eggs a mellow flavor. To me it needed salt.

It was ok. I think I will use coconut oil next time to give it some more flavor and a little less turmeric. You shouldn't heat olive oil.

Just wanted to say I’ve adjusted this to cooking in bacon grease.

Yeah, exactly. My mom never threw away fats. We had a couple jars under the sink. I always thought they where gross, and they still sort of are, but they add so much flavour and are FREE.

I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this taste. I added a slice of white American cheese The turmeric flavor was overwhelming. I broke the egg yokes on accident so I just turned it into an omelette. I don’t know if they made a difference in flavor or not. I’ll just play around with different things to improve flavor.

If you use turmeric, you should ad black pepper to enhance the body’s ability to absorb the good things in the turmeric. If you do not like the taste of so much turmeric, why not use curry? Curry is mostly turmeric, but with black pepper and coreander seeds fenugreek, jiira, and other spices.

I do add the black pepper but curry powder is a good idea. I’ve acquired a taste for these eggs now.

I would not fry olive oil and avocado oil. It will destroy the good things in the oils. I think butter/ghee is a good alternative. And for vegans coconut oil.

I know some vegans who eat eggs because the have rescue chickens so they know the birds are well cared for and nothing suffers from eating the eggs.

Like others said it tastes good if adjusted: I used avocado oil, turmeric, medium hot curry powder, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. The oil made it taste decadent and creamy. Delicious.
