Ingredients

  • Egg whites 6 large
  • Turkey sausage (lean, cooked) 2 links
  • Bell peppers 1/2 cup
  • Olive oil 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Prepare the ingredients. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, then dice them into small, even pieces about 1/4 inch in size. Remove the turkey sausage from its casing if needed and slice into bite-sized pieces.
    Tip: Dicing the peppers evenly helps them cook uniformly and blend well in the scramble.
  2. Heat the pan and cook turkey sausage. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the turkey sausage pieces. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are browned and heated through.
    Tip: Use a spatula to break up the sausage slightly for even cooking.
  3. Sauté bell peppers. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan with the sausage. Then add the diced bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until the peppers soften but still retain a slight crunch.
    Tip: Don’t overcook the peppers; they should add a fresh, sweet flavor and a bit of texture.
  4. Add egg whites and season. Pour the 6 large egg whites evenly over the sausage and peppers in the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
    Tip: Use a light hand with salt since sausage can be salty.
  5. Scramble the eggs. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, sausage, and peppers together. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the egg whites are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    Tip: Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender and not rubbery.
  6. Serve immediately. Once cooked, transfer the scramble to a plate and enjoy your nutritious meal while warm.
    Tip: Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast or fresh fruit if desired.

Pro tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and reduce the need for extra oil.
  • For easier peeling, separate egg whites from yolks using an egg separator or the shell-to-shell method.
