Ingredients (Serves 4)

• For the Filling:
• 12 egg whites (or 1.5 cups liquid egg whites)
• 8 oz turkey sausage (crumbled or sliced, pre-cooked or raw)
• 1 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: ¼ tsp smoked paprika or chili powder for a kick
• For the Burritos:
• 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-10 inch size)
• ¼ cup salsa (your favorite kind, divided across burritos)
• Optional: ¼ cup shredded low-fat cheddar or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If using raw turkey sausage, crumble it into the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F). If pre-cooked, just heat it through for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Scramble the Egg Whites: In the same skillet, add the egg whites and season with salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika or chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until just set—don’t overcook, they’ll firm up more when reheated! Add the chopped spinach in the last minute to wilt it slightly.
3. Mix It Together: Stir the cooked turkey sausage back into the egg white and spinach mixture. Give it a quick toss to combine all those flavors.
4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out each tortilla. Spoon a quarter of the egg white-sausage mix into the center of each. Add 1 tbsp salsa per burrito and a sprinkle of cheese or nutritional yeast if using. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal.
5. Prep for Later: Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper if you’re meal prepping. Store in the fridge or freezer (see tips below).

Meal Prep Tip

Make a batch and wrap them up tight—store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes (from fridge) or 3-4 minutes (from frozen), flipping halfway. For a crispy edge, pop them in a skillet or air fryer after microwaving. Keep salsa on the side if you prefer it fresh!

Customize It

• Spice It Up: Swap salsa for hot sauce or add diced jalapeños.
• Veggie Boost: Toss in some diced bell peppers or mushrooms with the spinach.
• Low-Carb Hack: Use a low-carb tortilla or skip it altogether and serve as a scramble.
