In a separate pan, whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs and scramble them over medium-low heat until cooked through.

Combine the cooked ground turkey, scrambled eggs, and shredded Swiss cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir until everything is mixed and the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
