Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

  • 1 lb turkey sausage (ground or links, casings removed)

  • 2 bell peppers, diced (any color)

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 tsp olive oil (or butter)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup salsa (for serving)

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack)

  • Sliced avocado

  • Hot sauce, sour cream

  • Tortillas for rolling


Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high.

  • Add turkey sausage, break it up, and let it sear undisturbed for a few minutes.

  • Stir and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.

  • Transfer to a bowl, leaving drippings in the pan.

2. Sauté the Veggies

  • In the same skillet, add olive oil.

  • Sauté peppers and onion with salt and pepper until tender-crisp, 5–7 minutes.

  • Mix with cooked sausage.

3. Scramble the Eggs

  • Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.

  • Wipe out the skillet or use a clean one over medium-low heat with a little butter/oil.

  • Pour in eggs, let set 20 seconds, then gently push cooked edges to center. Repeat until softly set. Remove slightly underdone to finish cooking from residual heat.

4. Assemble Meal Prep Boxes

  • Evenly divide eggs, sausage, and veggie mix into 4 airtight containers.

  • Store salsa separately.

  • Optional: Sprinkle cheese on hot ingredients to melt slightly.

5. Store

  • Let cool 15–20 minutes before sealing.

  • Refrigerate up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Freeze: Assemble as burritos for best results, wrap tightly, reheat in oven/air fryer.

  • Reheat Eggs: Microwave in short bursts with damp paper towel to prevent rubberiness.

  • Crispy Tortilla: Warm tortilla separately in skillet or air fryer before rolling.

  • Swap Protein: Bacon or pork sausage works; drain excess fat if needed.
