Ingredients
  

  • Turkey Sausage: 1/2 pound 225 grams
  • Egg Whites: 8 large ones you can buy cartons of egg whites too, about 1 cup or 240 ml
  • Fresh Spinach: 1 cup approximately 30 grams
  • Cherry Tomatoes: 1/2 cup halved (about 75 grams)
  • Feta Cheese: 1/4 cup crumbled (60 grams)
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Salt: To taste roughly 1 teaspoon or 5 grams
  • Ground Black Pepper: To taste about 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 grams
  • Red Bell Pepper: 1 diced (about 150 grams)
  • Onion: 1 small finely chopped (about 150 grams)

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Let it sauté until translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
  3. Introduce the diced red bell pepper. Allow it to cook with the onion for another 3 minutes.
  4. Now, it’s turkey sausage time! Crumble and brown the turkey sausage in the skillet. This usually takes around 5-7 minutes.
  5. While the turkey sausage is cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salt, and black pepper until frothy.
  6. Once the turkey sausage is well-cooked and no longer pink, toss in the cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. Let it cook until the spinach wilts slightly, around 2 minutes.
  7. Pour the frothy egg whites over the turkey sausage and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. It’s starting to look like that Turkey Sausage Frittata with Egg Whites you’ve been dreaming of, isn’t it?
  9. Allow the frittata to cook on medium heat until the edges set, which typically takes 5 minutes.
  10. Transfer the skillet to an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake the frittata for about 10-12 minutes or until the center is set.

Notes

When sautéing the veggies, ensure they don’t turn too soft. A slight crunch in the frittata can be delightful!
You can switch out veggies based on personal preferences or what’s seasonal. Mushrooms or zucchinis can be a great addition.
Using a non-stick skillet is crucial. It makes sure your Turkey Sausage Frittata with Egg Whites slides out perfectly when serving.
Always use fresh egg whites for a fluffier frittata.
