Ingredients

  • Egg whites 5 large
  • Turkey sausage 50 grams
  • Whole wheat tortilla 1 medium
  • Salsa 2 tablespoons

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
