Ground Turkey Eggs Breakfast Scramble

Hi Everyone, ever wonder how you can use leftovers to up-level another meal in a creative way?

I am ALWAYS thinking about this for my family during meal planning and just trying to use up what is in our refrigerator.

I am all about using up what you have to make something new; as the saying goes, “waste not, want not.”
