Flawed. 1st, the point at which the turkey sausage is incorporated is not mentioned; 2nd, the amount of oil is not specified. Having tried it, I think about 1 tablespoon canola is sufficient, and I would add the sausage at the same time as the vegetables. Flavor not bad, but some Chula hot sauce improved it markedly. The addition of a few slices of avocado would be nice as well.
Robert, thanks for catching those errors. The amount of oil is 1 tablespoon and the sausage crumbles are stirred into the cooked veggies. Recipe has been updated. And, I most definitely agree with adding hot sauce to any burrito : )
