Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter or avocado oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 lb ground turkey
8 eggs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 black pepper
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
10 ten-inch flour tortillas

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.
