Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the turkey sausage to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula. Remove the sausage and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and gently mix with the vegetable mixture.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled with the vegetables and sausage.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil.

Step 10

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave or skillet to make them pliable.

Step 11

Spoon approximately one-quarter of the filling onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 12

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese over the filling.

Step 13

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Mediterranean-inspired breakfast!
