Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing bell pepper, chopping spinach, and cracking eggs into a separate bowl.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage and break into small crumbles while cooking, ensuring meat is fully browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once sausage is cooked, add diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly softened and develop a light golden color.
- Reduce heat to medium and add chopped spinach, stirring gently to integrate with sausage and peppers. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour whisked eggs over the sausage and vegetable mixture, stirring continuously to create soft, scrambled eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs are fully set but still moist.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before portioning into meal prep containers or freezer-safe storage.
- For freezer meal: Allow to cool completely, then seal in airtight containers. Can be stored frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your skillet is at the right medium-high heat to properly brown the turkey sausage and develop rich flavors without burning.
- Sausage Crumbling Technique: Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the sausage into small, uniform crumbles for even cooking and better texture.
- Vegetable Timing: Add bell peppers before spinach to allow them to develop a slight caramelization, enhancing the overall taste profile.
- Egg Whisking Secret: Whisk eggs thoroughly and add a pinch of salt before cooking to create softer, more tender scrambled eggs.
- Freezer Meal Mastery: Cool the scramble completely before freezing to prevent moisture buildup and maintain optimal texture upon reheating.
- Reheating Tip: When ready to eat a frozen portion, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain even temperature.
