# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Combine ground turkey with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground sage, thyme, marjoram, crushed red pepper flakes, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until evenly seasoned.
02 -
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Cook the seasoned turkey, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked. Transfer to a clean bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
03 -
Whisk eggs with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and a splash of water. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, heat over medium, then add eggs. Stir gently until softly scrambled. Transfer to the bowl with turkey.
04 -
Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and chopped cilantro to the turkey and eggs. Mix until well combined.
05 -
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide mixture evenly, about ⅔ cup per tortilla. Fold edges and roll tightly to form burritos.
06 -
Spray a griddle or large skillet and heat over medium. Place burritos seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes until both sides are toasted.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For spicy variation, use hot salsa or add hot taco sauce. Optional additions include spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, beans, or avocado.
02 -
To refrigerate, cool filling before reheating ⅔ cup per serving in the microwave, then wrap in tortilla and toast.
03 -
For freezing, cool filling completely before assembly. Wrap burritos individually in plastic wrap or foil, store in freezer bags up to 3 months. Reheat without toasting step.
