Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 4 links (precooked and sliced) Turkish sausage
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Skim milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 spritz Olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons (optional) Chopped chives or green onions

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the skim milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and a bit frothy.

Step 2

Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil and place it over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the pre-cooked and sliced turkey sausage links to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they are heated through and slightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, creating soft folds. Continue to cook and stir every few seconds until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked sausage slices back into the pan along with the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently to combine and allow the cheese to melt, which should take another minute.

Step 7

Once the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
