Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, diced
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk together until well combined. Stir in the skim milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the diced turkey sausage to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it set for a few seconds. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center.
Step 5
Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 6
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted.
Step 7
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your heart-healthy cheesy sausage scrambled eggs!
