Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients. If the turkey sausage is raw, slice it into small pieces for even cooking. Crack the eggs and separate the whites, measuring out 5 large egg whites (about 250g).
Tip: Use a clean bowl to separate egg whites to avoid yolk contamination. -
Cook Turkey Sausage.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Tip: If sausage is pre-cooked, reduce cooking time to 2-3 minutes just to warm through. -
Cook Egg Whites.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir gently and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set but still moist. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Tip: Cook on medium-low heat to prevent the egg whites from becoming rubbery. -
Warm the Tortilla.
While the eggs finish cooking, warm the whole wheat tortilla in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave it for 15 seconds until soft and pliable.
Tip: Warming the tortilla makes it easier to roll without cracking. -
Assemble the Burrito.
Place the cooked egg whites and turkey sausage mixture in the center of the warm tortilla. Spoon 2 tablespoons of salsa over the filling. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Tip: Don't overfill the tortilla to avoid tearing.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook eggs and sausage for easy cleanup and even cooking.
- If you prefer more veggies, add diced bell peppers or onions to the sausage while cooking.
