Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs: The base of our wrap, scrambling up fluffy and rich.
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water: Helps create a lighter, more tender scramble.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter: For cooking and adding a hint of richness.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped: Packs in nutrients and a pop of color.
  • 1/4 cup diced smoked turkey breast: Adds a wonderful savory, smoky flavor instead of ham.
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced onion: For a little bit of sharp, aromatic sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese: Because melted cheese makes everything better.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste: To season everything perfectly.
  • 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas: The vessel that holds all the deliciousness together.

Step by Step Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk (or water), a good pinch of salt, and a few cracks of black pepper until they’re well combined and a little frothy.
  2. Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until it just starts to soften.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and smoked turkey to the skillet. Cook for another minute, just until the spinach wilts down. Spread this mixture evenly across the pan.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach and turkey in the skillet. Let them set for about 30 seconds before you start gently pushing the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula. Keep doing this until the eggs are softly set but still slightly wet, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the eggs.
  6. Warm your tortillas for about 15-20 seconds in the microwave, or in a dry skillet, to make them pliable.
  7. Spoon half of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to close.
  8. Slice in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your perfect morning fuel!

Equipment Needed

You don’t need anything fancy for this one, I promise. A good non-stick skillet is your best friend here to make sure those eggs slide right out. You’ll also need a mixing bowl, a whisk (a fork works in a pinch!), a spatula for scrambling, and a cutting board. That’s it!

Flavor Twists

This recipe is a fantastic blank canvas. Feeling a little spicy? Add a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture or some diced jalapeños with the onions. Want a Mediterranean vibe? Swap the cheddar for feta and add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. If you’ve got some leftover roasted bell peppers or mushrooms, chop them up and toss them in. Honestly, my favorite quick swap is using a everything bagel seasoning sprinkle instead of just salt and pepper. It adds so, so much flavor.

Storage Tips

These wraps are best eaten right away, but if you have leftovers, let them cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. I don’t recommend freezing them, as the eggs and tortilla can get a bit watery and soggy when thawed.

Serving Ideas & Pairings

These wraps are a complete meal all on their own, but they also play well with others! They’re an amazing addition to a breakfast buffet spread alongside some fresh fruit, crispy hash browns, and a selection of muffins. For a lighter pairing, a simple side of salsa for dipping or a fresh green salad with a zesty vinaigrette is just perfect. And of course, a strong cup of coffee or a fresh orange juice is non-negotiable.

Meal-Prep Version

You can absolutely get a head start on your mornings! Scramble the egg mixture with the spinach and turkey (without the tortilla) and let it cool. Store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready, just warm a portion of the filling in the microwave and quickly heat your tortilla. Assemble, and you’re out the door! It’s one of the easiest healthy breakfast ideas for meal prepping.

FAQs

  • Can I make these egg wraps ahead of time? You can prep the filling ahead, but I recommend assembling them fresh to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy. It only takes a minute to roll it up!
  • What’s the best way to warm a tortilla? My go-to method is a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side. But the microwave works too—just wrap them in a damp paper towel to steam them soft.
  • I’m not a turkey fan. What else can I use? Absolutely! Diced chicken, crumbled cooked sausage, or even just some black beans for a vegetarian option would be delicious. It’s all about using what you love.
  • Are these Savory Spinach & Turkey Egg Wraps good for a crowd? They sure are! Simply multiply the recipe and keep the cooked filling warm in a slow cooker on the ‘warm’ setting. Let everyone assemble their own wrap for a fun and interactive breakfast buffet.
