Egg roll in a bowl

Makes 4 servings

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 1.5 lbs ground turkey

  • 4-5 cups cabbage slaw

  • 1 tbs minced garlic

  • 2 tbs chili onion crunch (I used from trader joes)

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos

  • 1 tbs rice vinegar

  • 1 tbs sesame oil

  • 1 tsp ginger powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1 tsp salt & pepper

  • Sliced green onions

  • Sriracha mayo

  • Sliced avocado

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of chili onion crunch over medium-high heat.

    2. Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and the sliced white ends of a few stalks of green onion to the pan. Sauté for about a minute.

    3. Then, add in your ground turkey and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until it turns brown.

    4. While the meat is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of coconut aminos, 1 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of ginger powder, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper.

    5. Once the meat has browned, add in your cabbage slaw, a few more stalks of sliced green onion, and the prepared sauce. Mix until the sauce is evenly incorporated.

    6. Sauté everything for about 5 minutes or until the excess liquid has evaporated, stirring every couple of minutes.

    7. For the topping, prepare a sriracha mayo by mixing equal parts sriracha and mayo (e.g., 1 tbsp of each).

    8. Finally, top with sriracha mayo then garnish with sliced avocado and more freshly sliced green onion.


Sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burritos

Makes 8 burritos

WHAT you’ll need:

  • Low carb tortillas of choice

  • 10 eggs

  • 1 lb pork breakfast sausage

  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat. Add in the ground pork and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until it is fully cooked.

    2. In a large bowl, crack 10 eggs, and then season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix the seasonings into the eggs until well combined.

    3. Preheat a separate pan to medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. We are making simple scrambled eggs, so stir continuously until the eggs are fully cooked and reach your desired consistency.

    4. Once the eggs and meat are cooked, it's time to assemble the burritos. For each tortilla, add a portion of the cooked meat, scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up the burrito.

    5. Optionally, you can brown the assembled burritos on both sides on the stove for added flavor and texture.

    6. If you plan to eat the burritos within the week, wrap them in foil and store them in the fridge. For longer storage, place them in a freezer zip-lock bag and store them in the freezer.
