Instructions
How to Make Ground Turkey Breakfast Burritos
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground turkey along with the seasonings—maple syrup, sage, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer the browned turkey to a bowl and set aside. Sauté the finely diced onion and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt (plus hot sauce if using). Scramble in the skillet until slightly soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Return the turkey to the skillet with the eggs. Stir in the cheese until melted and combined. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Warm flour tortillas in another skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
- Place about 1 cup of the turkey and egg filling in each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
Notes
Optional: Serve with salsa or sour cream for added flavor.
