Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Potatoes
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
-
Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Cook the Turkey Sausage
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
-
Season with cumin and chili powder, then stir to combine.
-
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
-
Add eggs and cook, gently stirring, until softly scrambled.
-
Remove from heat just before fully set—they’ll continue cooking slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Burrito Bowl
-
Start with a base of roasted potatoes in each bowl.
-
Add scrambled eggs, a scoop of turkey sausage, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
-
Top with your favorite add-ins like avocado, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream.
-
Squeeze a wedge of fresh lime over the top for brightness.
Notes
Mix Up the Base – Try brown rice, cauliflower rice, or even quinoa instead of potatoes.
Use Leftovers – Roasted veggies or leftover meats work great.
Make It Spicy – Add jalapeños, chipotle sauce, or hot salsa.
Go Veggie – Skip the meat and load up with beans, tofu, or sautéed veggies.
Meal Prep It – Portion into containers and reheat for quick, filling weekday breakfasts.
