Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground turkey sausage
  • 8 large (400g) eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 1 medium (150g) yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 red (100g) bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups (115g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp (5g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp (30g) melted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until mahogany-colored and cooked through. Remove meat and set aside, keeping the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the peppers have softened.
  3. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in the eggs and stir gently until they are just set with soft, moist curds. Fold the cooked sausage back into the eggs.
  4. Transfer the filling to a large baking sheet or bowl. Let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes until it reaches room temperature to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat. Layer shredded cheese directly against the tortilla to create a moisture barrier, then add a portion of the cooled egg and sausage mixture. Roll tightly.
  6. Optional: Sear the rolled burritos in a skillet with melted butter until golden brown. Wrap in aluminum foil or parchment paper and store in freezer-safe Ziploc bags.
