Instructions
- If you're planning to make any of these cups with turkey sausage, I highly recommend making this homemade savory turkey sausage. It requires little more than browning your ground turkey and is so much healthier than any store bought ground turkey sausage that you can find.
- Dice and assemble your ingredients, then place into zipper bags. If you'd rather use another food safe and microwave safe container, be sure to use a little cooking spray first so they clean up nicely.
- Store your cups in the fridge or freezer. If storing in the fridge, make sure they're well covered with lids or even plastic wrap.
- When you're ready to cook these, just add an egg (or two) to them.
- Stir it up well.
- Place the microwave safe mug, bowl, or mason jar into the microwave and follow these guidelines:
- For two eggs: Place in microwave and cook for 1:30, stir if needed, then cook for another 1:30. Add 30 seconds at a time if your scrambles aren't cooked through.
- For one egg: Place in microwave and cook for 1 minute, stir if needed, then cook for 1 more minute. Add 30 seconds at a time if your scrambles aren't cooked through.
- You're looking for the dark line of yellow to be gone. Of course, this is easier to see in a mason jar. When using a coffee mug, that's where the stirring comes in handy.

Notes
I've used both 10 and 16 ounce jars for mine so that I could test cooking times, and added one egg to the 10 ounce jar and two eggs to the 16 ounce jars.
Cooking from frozen will mean that you can't stir the eggs first, so I like to microwave them for 30 seconds to a minute. After that you just stir it all up, then complete cooking according to the times below.
