Servings: 6 sandwiches
Calories: 472kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 6 whole wheat English muffins
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 cup microgreens
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Turkey Sausage
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Chop, slice and prepare veggie toppings as well as shred the cheese before cooking for easy assembly.
- Mix ground turkey together with ingredients and form into six 1/4-inch thick patties. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over med-high heat, and add sausage patties, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove sausages from the pan and set aside. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk until well combined, seasoning with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tbsp olive oil in a medium sized pan and cook eggs until barely set, stirring often. Add spinach and cook for another minute or so until eggs are cooked through.
- Meanwhile, add English muffins to a toaster to get toasted to your liking.
- Assemble breakfast sandwiches by topping bottom bun with cheese, then turkey sausage patty. Add egg scramble, followed by red pepper, avocado and microgreens. Omit microgreens if freezing.
- Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge (up to 5 days) or the freezer (up to a couple months).
