ORZO FRITTATA WITH SMOKED TURKEY

I’m always looking for quick and easy lunch options that are tasty, carry well and can be eaten at room temperature – and of course healthy. This frittata meets all the requirements. I make a dish of this on sunday and portion it out. It easy to grab for lunch or even a dinner with a side salad.
