Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and the center reaches 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. (about 10 min) — Medium-high heat
- Reduce the skillet to medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble gently until mostly set, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted and the eggs are fully set, about 2 minutes. (about 5 min) — Medium heat
- Warm the tortillas in the skillet for about 20 seconds per side. Place turkey, egg mixture, cottage cheese, and salsa down the center of each tortilla. (about 2 min) — Medium heat
- Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito. Serve hot. (about 3 min)
