Turkey sausage reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add chouriço slices and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in green peas, laurel leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add water to cover the peas and bring to a simmer.

Cook until peas are tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove laurel leaves and season with black pepper and coriander.

In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer for poaching eggs.

Crack eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water.

Poach eggs until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer poached eggs to a plate.

Serve peas topped with poached eggs and chouriço.
