Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces lean turkey chorizo
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 large whole egg
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by prepping the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the green onions, and roughly chop the fresh spinach.
In a non-stick skillet, apply a light spray of non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the lean turkey chorizo to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
While the chorizo is cooking, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, skim milk, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Once the chorizo is cooked, add the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and chorizo.
Gently stir the eggs continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the eggs are just cooked through but still soft and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat scrambled eggs with chorizo.
