Turkey Sausage and Egg White Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients

• Egg whites 5 large
• Lean turkey sausage 2 oz
• Whole wheat tortilla 1 small
• Diced tomatoes 2 tbsp
• Chopped onions 2 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare ingredients. Gather all ingredients. Dice the tomatoes and chop the onions if not already done. Crack the eggs and separate the whites, measuring out 5 large egg whites (about 165g).
   Tip: Use a small bowl to separate egg whites easily by cracking eggs and passing yolks back and forth between shell halves.
2. Cook turkey sausage. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 oz of lean turkey sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked.
   Tip: Make sure the sausage is cooked through with no pink remaining. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. Sauté onions and tomatoes. Add the chopped onions (2 tbsp) to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Cook for 1-2 minutes until onions are translucent. Then add diced tomatoes (2 tbsp) and cook for another minute to soften slightly.
   Tip: Stir frequently to prevent burning and to combine flavors well.
4. Cook egg whites. Pour the 5 large egg whites into the skillet with the sausage and veggies. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are fully set but still moist. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
   Tip: Cook on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs.
5. Warm 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 until soft and pliable.
   Tip: Warming the tortilla makes it easier to roll without cracking.
6. Assemble burrito. Place the cooked egg white and turkey sausage mixture onto the center of the warmed tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.
   Tip: Don’t overfill the tortilla to avoid tearing.

Pro tips

• Use a non-stick skillet to reduce the need for added fats and make cooking easier.
• If you prefer more flavor, add a pinch of your favorite herbs or a dash of hot sauce inside the burrito.
