Most of us have been faced with what will I do with this as it awaits to be cooked? That is exactly how I created this delicious burrito mixture. Anyone who cooks the extra lean ground turkey has experienced the overall dryness. My simple procedure: completely mix 1 lb. of ground mild/sweet Italian sausage with 1 lb. of extra lean ground turkey. Ground lean pork also creates a moister turkey product when combined for meatloaf, etc.

How To Make linda's extra lean brunch burritos / no red-meat used

Step 1

Combine ground turkey and ground Italian sausage in an appropriately sized bowl. You want one uniform mixed meat.

Step 2

Heat skillet over medium heat, add 1 T olive oil and begin browning the meat until done: 20 minutes or more.
Step 3

Rinse the sweet peppers, remove seeds and stem, and slice into slender strips.
Step 4

In another skillet melt some butter or margarine and cook the scrambled eggs.
Step 5

Take a soft burrito and place onto a plate. Add American cheese slice (1-2 depending on your taste), spoon on the cooked meat, eggs, and add pepper slices. Fold and eat. A few seconds in the microwave will reheat if everything has become too cold.
