Breakfast Sando

769 calories

63g protein

38g carbs

40g fat


INGREDIENTS

Sando

  • 7 large eggs

  • 2 pounds (900g) 95% lean ground turkey

  • 1 tablespoon (1g) finely chopped sage

  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) onion powder

  • 2 teaspoons (8g) garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons (12g) fine sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5g) cayenne powder

  • 1 cup (115g) blackberries

  • 3 ½ cups (840g) Greek yogurt

  • Ground cinnamon, to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS


For the Sando


  1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Have an ice bath ready on the side. Gently lay the eggs into the water and simmer for 6 ½ minutes. Immediately pull them out into the ice bath and let cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs while they are submerged in water. The egg yolks will be jammy and slightly runny in texture.

  2. In a medium bowl, evenly combine the turkey, sage, spices, salt and pepper. Shape into 4-ounce balls, 7-8 total, and place on a sheet pan.

  3. Set a medium sized sauté pan over medium heat, and grease lightly with cooking spray. Once hot, place one ball in the middle of the pan and flatten into a ¼-inch thick patty. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sear for 2 minutes or until golden brown on the first side. Flip, season on the second side and cook 1-2 more minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat until all the turkey is cooked.

  4. On a slice of toasted bread, add a turkey patty followed by 1 soft boiled egg, cut in half with the yolk side facing down towards the turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add another slice of bread on top, wrap it in plastic, and cut it in half.

To Assemble

  1. In your meal prep container, add one turkey sandwich to the first compartment. To the second compartment add about ¼ cup mix of berries. In the third compartment add about ½ cup yogurt with a pinch of ground cinnamon. Repeat with the remaining 6 meal prep containers and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
