Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients. Separate 5 large egg whites into a bowl, making sure no yolk is included. Slice the smoked turkey into bite-sized pieces if not pre-sliced.
Tip: Use a clean bowl to separate egg whites to avoid yolk contamination, which can affect the texture. -
Heat the Pan.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking spray or a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
Tip: Heating the pan before adding egg whites helps them cook evenly and prevents sticking. -
Cook Smoked Turkey.
Add the sliced smoked turkey to the heated pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until warmed through and slightly browned.
Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the turkey from burning and to heat it evenly. -
Scramble Egg Whites.
Pour the egg whites into the pan with the turkey. Let them sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue to cook and stir occasionally until the egg whites are fully cooked but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Cook on medium heat to avoid rubbery eggs and remove from heat just before fully set, as they will continue cooking slightly from residual heat. -
Warm the Corn Tortilla.
While the eggs cook, warm the corn tortilla in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
Tip: Warming the tortilla separately keeps it from becoming soggy and enhances flavor. -
Plate and Add Salsa.
Transfer the scrambled egg whites and turkey onto a plate. Serve with the warmed corn tortilla on the side and spoon 2 tablespoons of salsa over the eggs or on the side for dipping.
Tip: Add salsa last to keep it fresh and vibrant.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick pan to make scrambling egg whites easier and reduce the need for added fats.
