Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cup low-sodium milk
• 0.5 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 piece green bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 piece sweet onion, diced
• 0.5 cup shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the sausage mixture.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage mixture, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until fully browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with low-sodium milk until well combined.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add a bit of cooking spray or a small amount of oil, then add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and sweet onion. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Add the beaten eggs to the vegetables in the skillet. Stir continuously until the eggs are softly set. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and combine everything well.

Step 6

Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the sausage and egg mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese evenly over the filling.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the burrito.

Step 9

Heat each burrito on a skillet for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and warmed through. Alternatively, wrap them individually in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium sausage breakfast burrito!
