Turkey, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Burritos
No excuses for skipping breakfast with freezer-friendly Turkey, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Burritos by Ohio food blogger Happy Healthy Mama, packed with high-protein eggs and turkey, plus fresh peppers, onion and cheese.
Directions
- In a large skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the ground turkey and cook about 7 minutes.
- While the ground turkey is cooking, crack the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper and whisk well.
- Drain any excess liquid or fat from the turkey mixture. Turn the heat to low and add the eggs.
- Use a spatula to keep the eggs moving. When they are almost set, turn off the heat.
- Stir in the crumbled goat cheese and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- To assemble the burritos, add some of the egg mixture and top it with some of the shredded cheese. Fold up two sides and then roll in the opposite direction.
- Wrap each burrito tightly with aluminum foil. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.
Reheating Instructions
- Burritos can be reheated from frozen, no need to thaw.
- To reheat in the microwave, microwave at full power for 4 minutes, turn over, and then microwave an additional 4-5 minutes.
- To reheat in the oven, cook for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
