Turkey Sausage, Spinach & Egg Scramble

By Foodiewife

I am on a mission to eat less starchy carbs and to lose some weight that has snuck up on me over the last year. I need to eat more protein and less "starchy" carbs. I made this quick breakfast dish in 5 minutes, and I was so happy with the flavor, that I decided to photograph it and share it!

Preparation

Step 1

Equipment suggested: Non-Stick skillet
Thaw the spinach and drain the liquid (I do this in the microwave and push with a spatula to release liquid)
Remove the sausage from the casing and cook until it is no longer pink.
Add the red pepper flakes. Push to one side of the skillet.
Add 1 tsp of olive oil.
Add the onion and minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the thawed and drained spinach.

Beat the egg and liquid egg white with 1/4 cup low-fat milk and add the Parmesan cheese.
Add some fresh cracked pepper (no salt needed because of the turkey and cheese)

Pour the egg evenly over the mixture and cook on low for a minute or two.

Makes 2 servings.
