Ingredients
  

Ground Turkey Sausage:

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Black Beans:

  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Hash Brown Potatoes:

  • 16 ounces frozen hash browns
  • 2 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • dash black pepper

Additional Toppings:

  • 4 eggs (scrambled or fried)
  • 2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1 avocado

Instructions
 

Hash Browns:

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of light olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a dash of black pepper. Add the frozen hash browns and stir with a spatula to evenly coat.
  • Air Fryer Method: Do not preheat the air fryer. Wrap the air fryer tray with parchment paper and press down into the air fryer basket. Dump in the seasoned hash browns. Cook at 385°F for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until they are golden brown. Set aside.
    Skillet Method: Bring a skillet to medium/high heat and add the seasoned hash browns. Cook until the hash browns are crispy and golden brown, flipping occasionally, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside.

Turkey Sausage:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. As the sausage browns, add 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Cook until fully browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Black Beans:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of black beans, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the water is mostly absorbed. Set aside.

Sunny Side Up Eggs:

  • In another skillet, scramble 4 eggs. Or, fry them sunny-side up. The size of your frying pan will determine how many you can cook at once.
    Sunny Side Up Skillet Method: Bring a small non-stick skillet over low/medium heat and allow to warm up for several minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of butter carefully crack one egg in the center of the pan. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and a dash of black pepper. Remove from heat after 3-4 minutes. It is done when the egg white is fully cooked and just starting to brown around the edges. And the egg still jiggles slightly when you jiggle the pan.

Bowl Assembly:

  • Grate the cheddar cheese, slice the tomatoes and the avocado.
    Divide the cooked turkey sausage, black beans, hash browns, eggs, and additional toppings (grape tomatoes, avocado slices, and shredded cheddar cheese) into meal prep containers or serving bowls and enjoy!

Notes

Crispy Hash Browns: For extra crispy hash browns, make sure not to overcrowd the pan in the air fryer or skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary, and let them sit for a minute or two before flipping to ensure a golden-brown crust.
Batch Cooking: This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Cook all the components in advance and store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge. Then, just assemble and reheat for quick, delicious breakfasts throughout the week.
Customizable Protein: You can easily swap the turkey sausage for other proteins like ground chicken, beef, or even a plant-based sausage to suit your dietary preferences.
