Tonight's dinner is breakfast! Turkey sausage and egg white breakfast burritos to be exact. My husband loves breakfast, all day every day...lol. Breakfast burritos are one of his favorites so I tried to find a way to make them healthier and I think I succeeded today with these, they are about 325 calories each!
Turkey Sausage and Egg White Breakfast Burritos (makes 5 burritos)
1 pound turkey breakfast sausage
10 egg whites
3 tablespoons low fat milk
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, finely chopped
5 multigrain tortillas (8 inch)
1 1/4 cups fat free shredded chedder cheese
about 10 tablespoons light sour cream(5 servings)
about 10 tablespoons salsa(5 servings)
cooking spray
salt and pepper to taste
In a bowl whisk together egg whites and milk, set aside. In a large non stick skillet saute the onions and peppers in a little bit of cooking spray. Once onions are translucent add the turkey sausage and brown unitll cooked through and crumbled. Reduce heat to medium and add egg whites (you may need to add a little more cooking spray before adding the eggs). Stir until eggs are all cooked, add salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds. Place one tortilla on each plate and top with 1/5 of the egg and sausage mixture. Top each burrito with 1/4 cup cheese, and 2 tablespoons each of sour cream and salsa. Wrap it all up burrito style and enjoy!
I calculated these to be about 325 calories for each burrito and that includes the toppings! The full fat way I used to make them they were over 800 calories each. Just by removig the egg yolks you save a lot of calories. As you can see I also used low fat or fat free ingredients wherever possible. The multigrain tortillas I used are 60 calories each and tasted really good. My husband loved these burritos, he ate 2 and said I sould make them again soon. The kids liked it too! Dinner's ready!
