Turkey Breakfast Burrito in a Jar
Do you struggle with how to make a healthy breakfast on busy mornings? I try to make a healthy breakfast for everyone in the morning. During the week, this can present a challenge.
The kids have to rush off and don’t have time for a sit-down breakfast. It’s not easy to grab a bowl of oatmeal as you’re heading out the door. I want to be able to make a healthy breakfast that’s also portable and delicious.
I don’t generally buy breakfast pastries. While they are portable, they are rarely healthy. A piece of fruit, while healthy, isn’t really very filling for breakfast.
One of the ways that I make a healthy breakfast for the kids and myself is by making high-protein breakfasts like this burrito jar. The kids can grab theirs to go on the way to school. I can sit down and enjoy mine with a cup of coffee.
Tips for making turkey breakfast burritos
When you’re making these burrito jars, make sure you add in some extra veggies. I chose mushrooms, salsa, peppers, and onions.
Mushrooms are very affordable, always in season and it’s a great way to get an extra serving of vegetables into the kids without them noticing what I’m doing. Mushrooms are a natural source of vitamins D and B and a rich source of antioxidants.
Best grains to add to turkey sausage burrito in a jar
I skipped the grains and dairy in these, but if you want, you can always add quinoa or brown rice and sprinkle some cheese on top. It’s all up to you. Choose mild or hot salsa or toss in fresh tomatoes in the summer from the garden.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time. You can store it in the refrigerator for 48 hours once everything is cooked and assembled.
Just remove it when you’re ready to eat and microwave it until warm.

This sounds so good yet simple. I must substitute something else for the mushrooms though – For some reason, I don’t eat them at all 🙂
Looks good, and it’s breakfast time so I’m hungry! LOL
I love breakfast foods that area easy and quick to prepare but taste like they took awhile! 😉
This is definitely one of my favorites!
I love everything about these burritos! In this house, they’re more likely to show up on the “brinner” menu, though. Thanks for the post.
We do breakfast for dinner quite often as well!
We love making Egg Burtitos here at our house. Ours aren’t usually very healthy though. Your looks great.
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I often eat breakfast for supper too.
We do too, Stacie!
My idea of a healthy breakfast has always been not eating poptarts 🙂 I might need to kick it up a notch. Thanks for the idea.Â
LOL that’s one way of doing it!
I will be making this recipe in the near future. Â I absolutely LOVE mushrooms.
It’s a great healthy breakfast!

You’re welcome, Diane!
That looks really good even though I hate mushrooms.
LOL my husband does not like them either.
This does sound easy and delicious! It’s always great to have new ideas for a good hot breakfast.
I agree! I get tired of cereal some days.
These look so good! Â I absolutely love mushrooms. Â Don’t tell – I might add a bit of crumbled bacon in there, too!
That sounds good too!
