Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces low-fat turkey sausage links
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium onion
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 0.25 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup salsa
- 1 for greasing non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the red bell pepper and onion into thin strips.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the turkey sausage links to the skillet. Cook them, turning occasionally, until fully cooked through and browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and slice into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, onion, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and stir until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and season with salt and black pepper.
Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour in the egg whites. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until they are fully scrambled but not dry.
Mix the scrambled egg whites with the vegetables and turkey sausage pieces in the skillet.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a skillet until pliable.
Spread the mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla.
Top each with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and a couple of tablespoons of salsa.
Roll up the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling, then cut each burrito in half if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat sausage breakfast burritos!
