Prepare ingredients.
Gather all ingredients. Separate 5 egg whites from the yolks if using whole eggs, or use pre-separated egg whites. Measure out 2 turkey sausage links and 2 slices of whole wheat bread.
Tip: If separating eggs yourself, crack the egg and gently pass the yolk back and forth between shell halves, letting the white fall into a bowl. -
Cook turkey sausage links.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage links and cook for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides and ensure they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside.
Tip: Use tongs to turn the sausage links carefully to avoid breaking them. -
Toast the whole wheat bread.
While the sausage cooks, place the 2 slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster and toast to your preferred level of crispness.
Tip: If you don’t have a toaster, you can toast the bread in a clean skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. -
Scramble the egg whites.
After removing the sausage, wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Pour in the 5 egg whites. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking and stirring gently until the egg whites are set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Cook on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and drying out the egg whites. -
Serve.
Place the scrambled egg whites on a plate alongside the cooked turkey sausage links and toasted whole wheat bread. Optionally, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Serve immediately while hot for best flavor and texture.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the egg whites from sticking and breaking apart.
