Make Tex Mex Turkey Scramble – Meal Prep with clear ingredient guidance, step-by-step instructions, and practical tips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 28oz bag Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • salsa or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. While the potaotes cook, lightly spray a large skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  2. Once the turkey is browned and any excess liquid has evaporated, stir in the oregano, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for an additional minute until the water evaporates. Transfer the cooked turkey to your meal prep containers.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Lightly spray the same skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan until the eggs are just cooked through. Divide the scrambled eggs among your meal prep containers.
  4. Top each portion with shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the scramble to cool slightly before placing the containers in the refrigerator. Enjoy within four days, and serve with your favorite salsa or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Prepare the potatoes on a sheet pan and bake; cook the turkey with spices; whisk eggs and keep ready for assembly.

Avoid Overcooking the Eggs: One common mistake is overcooking the eggs, making them rubbery. To avoid this, remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set; they will continue to cook slightly as they cool. Spice Level: If you are worried about this being too spicy, only use ½ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder. Or, if you want to avoid the spice altogether, you can use regular chili powder.
Divide into meal prep containers and refrigerate.
Store refrigerated up to four days in airtight containers. Let components cool completely before refrigerating.
Substitute hash browns or diced potatoes for Potatoes O’Brien.
Use ground beef or chicken in place of turkey.
Use different cheese such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
How long can I store this Tex Mex Turkey Scramble meal prep? Store refrigerated up to four days.
How should I reheat the meal prep? Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes per portion, or heat in oven/air fryer for extra crispness.
