Our family is still on our New Year’s Resolution of eating healthier and moving more. We don’t like to sacrifice flavor or taste when we are eating better and I am always on the lookout for new recipes that are delicious and inspiring.
Last week on one of the TV Shows that we watch, The Biggest Loser, they featured a Turkey Breakfast Sausage Chilaquiles with JENNIE-O® Lean Mild Turkey Breakfast Sausage Roll recipe. My husband and I love having meals with a Mexican flare so we were very excited to see this recipe on the show.
This Turkey Breakfast Sausage Chilaquiles recipe was created in collaboration with Biggest Loser RD Cheryl Forberg, the recipe puts a tasty, low-cal spin on a favorite south-of-the-boarder dish. Here is the recipe courtesy of JENNIE-O®.
