Instructions

Prepare the Protein: Cook the lean turkey or chicken sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare the eggs to your preference—scrambled, fried, or baked—and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Toast the English Muffins: Slice the whole grain English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown to ensure a crispy, firm base that will hold all the fillings without becoming soggy.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread avocado or your chosen spread on the toasted muffin bases. Layer with the cooked sausage, your prepared egg, a handful of fresh spinach or kale, tomato slices, and a slice of low-fat cheese on top.
Wrap for Storage: Wrap each assembled sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil to maintain freshness. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and nutrition.
Cook eggs slightly soft to avoid dryness after reheating.
Wrap sandwiches tightly to save space and prevent freezer burn.
Toast muffins lightly to help maintain crunchiness after reheating.
Label sandwiches with date and contents for easy tracking.
