Wild Turkey Breakfast Burtitos
I pound ground Wild Turkey Breast
1/2 Tbsp. oil
5 eggs, scrambled (use desired seasoning)
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shreded (or Monterey
Jack )
10 flour torillas
1 cup cooked hash browns optional
Salsa, onions, jalapenos, avocado optional
In a large nonstick pan, heat oil over medium
high heat. Add the ground Wild Turkey Breast to the pan. Stir frequently,
crumbling the turkey. Cook until meat is tender and not dry. Turn off heat
and tilt pan to drain away the oil. Remove from pan and set aside to keep
warm. Assemble the burritos by dividing all ingredients equally among the
tortillas, sprinkling the cheese on top of the warm turkey. Add your favorite
fixings and close the tortillas, tucking in the ends. Another method is
to scramble the eggs into the ground turkey pan, after the meat is cooked
and the oil has been drained off. This imparts a nice flavor to the eggs.
Note: If using hash browns, add and cook them
with the sausage. Cook until tender.
