Ingredients
4 whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
8 large eggs, beaten
1/2 pound lean ground turkey sausage
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1/4 cup salsa
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the ground turkey sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently with the turkey and spinach until the eggs are set but still fluffy.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until slightly melted.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a clean skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Divide the egg mixture among the four tortillas.
Top each portion with fresh avocado slices and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll tightly to secure the filling.
Notes
To meal prep, wrap the assembled burritos (without avocado and salsa) in foil or parchment paper and store in the freezer for up to one week. Reheat in the microwave or oven and add fresh avocado and salsa before serving.
