Turkey Bacon and Egg Breakfast Cups make the perfect start to busy mornings!
With parents back to the busy routine of the school year, it’s more important than ever to find new ways to help families eat well that are budget- friendly, too. Trying to stay on track with different schedules and individual routines while trying to maintain healthy habits can be a challenge for busy families.
Turkey works to fuel your family with essential protein and nutrients. This protein-packed staple can be the anchor of any meal – breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner.
Our Turkey Bacon and Egg Breakfast Cups make the perfect start to busy mornings. Make them in advance and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast heated in the microwave or pre-assemble the night before and just pop them in the oven as soon as you get up.

5 TIPS TO BE BACK-TO-SCHOOL READY WITH CANADIAN TURKEY
1. Scale Up
Turkey is a great option when planning to double or triple your favourite recipes. Scale your recipes so you can cook once and then freeze extra portions to have on hand when you need dinner or lunch in a hurry.
2. Foolproof Favourites
Develop a series of go-to recipes that you know are easy to prepare and that your family will love. The Canadian Turkey website is packed with kitchen-tested recipes that are both healthy and tasty too. Turkey is so versatile and comes in so many cuts that you can find something for everyone’s taste and preference.
3. Plan Ahead
Try to cook with recipes where you can do some prep work ahead of time or plan to pre-cook some or all of the ingredients. Meal planning up to a week in advance is a great way to save time during busy weeknights.
4. Keep it Healthy
Turkey is a great source of protein and important minerals and nutrients. Both dark and white meat is lean, so you can feel good putting turkey on your plate without having to compromise on taste and flavour.
5. Change It Up
Turkey adapts to all of your favourite flavour profiles and spice combinations, and with so many cuts to choose from you can find choices that please the whole family. Turkey is a delicious option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can serve it hot or cold, and it tastes great the next day, too!
Breakfast with turkey packs a big punch! Each 100-gram serving provides about 30 grams of high quality lean protein and is packed with nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium and zinc. What a great way to kick off every day! Download these Start The Day With Canadian Turkey ideas
