Turkey Sausage Egg White Flatbread made with turkey sausage, egg whites, cheddar cheese and spinach. They make a quick breakfast; especially if you're on the go.
I've mentioned before that I'm not a big breakfast eater. I have a handful of go-to items and when I'm heading out in the morning, I tend to just stop at Dunkin Donuts and get their Turkey Sausage Egg White Flatbread to eat on the go.
I figured if I had to eat something, this wasn't the worst choice I could be making at under 300 calories each and my entire bill would come to about $5. Not a habit I wanted to get into when I had plenty of good, healthy food at home.
Then I started thinking about how easy it would be to make these sandwiches at home and what I found was pretty astonishing.
What's the difference?
- Made four sandwiches in 20 minutes
- Cost $2.06 less per serving
- Had fewer calories, fat, sodium, and sugar
- Didn't have all of those additives that you can't pronounce

THIS was now a NO BRAINER! I made four of these sandwiches, wrapped them and placed them in the freezer. When I knew I was going to go out in the morning, I pulled one from the freezer, popped it in the microwave and it was ready and hot in minutes.
A toaster oven would probably be even better so the bread gets toasted a bit, but I don't have one of those and didn't want to wait for the oven to heat up.
Now there are no excuses for me and for you either for that matter. 😉 The flavor combinations are endless too. If you don't like turkey sausage, add bacon or your favorite combination of vegetables instead. ~Enjoy!

I love the idea of making a batch of these so that you always have a healthy breakfast that's ready in minutes! I didn't have a muffin top pan so I made these in a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan and they came out great (they just needed an extra 5 or 10 minutes baking time)! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe- I'm excited to include it in The Natural Pregnancy Cookbook!

Never thought to use sandwich rounds like this before, I have a feeling that these turkey , sausage and egg flatbreads would make a great breakfast/light lunch. Definitely a recipe I will be recreating.. thanks for sharing it!

Thank you for stopping by Thalia. They are perfect for breakfast or lunch and very filling. I made these to mimic the fast food version; however, I think next time I'll just make some with my favorite vegetables.

Brilliant idea to use a muffin top pan. I just ordered one. I was not smart enough to think of it but can't wait to try some out.

Thanks Christie. It actually fits really nice on the rounds and worked perfectly!
