Serving Size 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 8 oz lean ground turkey sausage (seasoned turkey sausage)
  • 2 cups liquid egg whites (≈16 fl oz) or substitute with 4 large egg whites or 3 whole eggs for extra richness
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion (yellow or sweet onion works) diced
  • 4 medium flour tortillas use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas as desired
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional) or cooking spray

Instructions

Preparation

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Add the ground turkey sausage. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for about 5–7 minutes until fully browned and no longer pink.
  • Stir in the diced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still have a bit of bite.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the egg whites. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Gently scramble the egg whites with the meat and veggies. Cook 2–3 minutes until just set—avoid overcooking.
  • Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave (15–20 seconds) until pliable.
  • Divide the filling evenly among the four tortillas. Fold in the sides, roll tightly into burritos, and serve hot or wrap for meal prep.

Notes

If you want more fat and flavor, swap turkey sausage for pork sausage or add a tablespoon of butter. For vegetarian versions, use crumbled tempeh or plant-based sausage.
