You’ll love this breakfast prep because it’s high in protein, quick to make, budget-friendly, and uses mostly pantry staples. It’s also kid-approved and ideal for school mornings. Whether you’re a busy parent, a college student, or just trying to stay on track with your health goals (summer body LOADING!), this healthy and easy breakfast meal prep is a perfect go-to.

To make it, you’ll need a few core ingredients. Those are mentioned above.

Scrambled Eggs

For the scrambled eggs, use about 6 to 8 eggs with a pinch of salt, scrambled in a little olive oil. These eggs reheat well and pair perfectly with the other ingredients for a protein-rich start to the day.

Ground Turkey

Next, cook one pound of ground turkey and season it with turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and seasoning-all. Near the end of cooking, stir in a handful of washed, chopped watercress (or you can go in whole). This adds a vibrant green pop and also has some serious health perks. Watercress is rich in antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin K, supporting bone health and potentially reducing cancer risk (more studies need to be conducted). Turmeric, on the other hand, is well-known for its golden color and warm flavor. It’s a powerful anti-inflammatory that supports digestion, brain health, and immunity.

Potatoes

For the potatoes, finely dice about 5 to 6 small white or red potatoes. Toss them with garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, black pepper, salt, and complete seasoning, then pop them into the air fryer at 390°F for 15 minutes on the Air Crisp setting. (For a little added flavor, add olive oil or butter.) Shake halfway through for even crispiness. These come out golden and flavorful—the perfect complement to your protein-packed eggs and turkey.

To meal prep, simply divide the eggs, turkey, and potatoes into meal prep containers. Store in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze the eggs and turkey separately from the potatoes for longer-term storage.

This grab-and-go breakfast meal prep is ideal for anyone looking for easy, healthy breakfast meal prep ideas. It’s also a great way to use up pantry spices while building a nourishing and satisfying routine. The inclusion of turmeric and watercress adds bonus nutrition without complicating the process. Plus, it’s all seasoned to taste, so no exact measurements are needed—just season based on flavor and enjoy.
