Ingredients
Turkey/Chicken Sausage Crumbles (this will make extra!)
- 1 16oz package ground chicken or turkey
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried sage
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Scrambled eggs
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil or spray oil
- 12 eggs, whisked
- sea salt & pepper, to taste
Veggies
- 1 tbsp olive oil or spray oil
- 1 small red onion, diced small
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- big handful of greens of choice (spinach, arugula)
For assembling the burritos
- Tortillas, of choice
- dairy or non-dairy cheese (optional)
For serving
- salsa, hot sauce, avocado, etc.
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes
- I prefer to use frozen hash browns (with just potatoes & salt as ingredients). I simply air fry them until crispy. However, you can roast diced red or gold potatoes, etc. Prepare your potatoes however you'd like (just be sure to dice them small and cook until crisp!).
Sausage crumbles
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meat and spices. Toss well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat - just be careful not to squish the meat too much or it'll get mealy.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil or spray oil. Add the meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula until it's crumbly and coated with caramelized edges - this usually takes about 20 minutes.
Veggies + eggs
- While your meat is cooking, heat another pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or spray oil.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sprinkle over a pinch of salt. Cook a few minutes until the veggies have softened. Then add in the greens. Cook another minute or so until they've cooked down a bit. Remove the veggies to a bowl or plate.
- In the same pan, cook the eggs. Start by adding the eggs to a mixing bowl with the seasonings. Whisk well. Add some spray oil or olive oil to your pan and add the eggs. Scramble them until cooked through. Then remove from heat.
Assemble the burritos
- Lay out a tortilla. Add some of the cooked veggies, potatoes, sausage crumbles, and eggs. You can sprinkle over cheese if you'd like. Then, wrap them up tightly, then wrap in parchment paper. Store in an air-tight baggy in the freezer. Serve with a side of hot sauce, salsa, avocado or guacamole, etc.
- Store leftover chicken sausage crumbles in an air-tight container in the fridge. You can use these in tacos, on salads, etc!

Notes
From frozen: remove parchment paper. Microwave for 60-90 seconds or until heated through. OR, from thawed: Set in refrigerator to thaw for 24 hours. Reheat in the microwave for a minute or so until heated through or bake in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. You can also pop them in the air fryer at 350F to reheat! Just check on it every few minutes.
