Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    6 oz Turkey Sausage

Produce

  • 1
    0.5 medium Onion
  • 2
    1 medium Bell Pepper
  • 3
    0.5 clove Garlic

Dairy

  • 1
    4 large Eggs
  • 2
    2 tbsp Milk

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.25 tsp Salt
  • 2
    0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Other

  • 1
    1 tbsp Cooking Oil

Directions

1

Prep Vegetables and Sausage

Dice the onion, bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Set aside. If using links, remove the sausage from its casing and crumble. If using ground sausage, set aside.

2

Heat Skillet

Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. A non-stick skillet helps prevent the scramble from sticking. Ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients for optimal cooking. You'll know it's ready when the oil shimmers.

3

Brown the Sausage

Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. The sausage should be fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become translucent. Add the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, be careful not to burn. 'Translucent' means the onions turn from opaque to somewhat see-through.

5

Whisk Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This ensures a smooth and consistent texture for the scramble.

6

Cook Eggs

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook over low to medium-low heat, gently pushing the cooked egg from the edges of the skillet towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. This slow cooking method ensures a creamy texture, 'scrambling' refers to breaking the eggs apart in the pan as they cook. Continue until the eggs are almost set.

7

Combine and Finish

Gently fold the cooked sausage back into the egg mixture. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked but still slightly moist. This step integrates the sausage flavors with the eggs. Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as they can become dry.

8

Serve

Remove from heat and serve immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese, if desired. Serve the scramble hot for the best taste and texture.

Recipe Tips

  • For extra flavor, use a spicy Italian turkey sausage.
  • To make it a little healthier, add in spinach or other leafy greens before adding the eggs.
  • If you don’t have a non-stick skillet, be sure to use plenty of oil or butter to prevent sticking. Use a rubber or silicone spatula to avoid scratching the pan.
  • Fresh garlic can be substituted with 1/4 tsp garlic powder if needed.
  • For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of cream cheese to the eggs while cooking.
