Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 ounces (approximately 60g) of turkey sausage, crumbled or sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup diced onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg) for wrapping

Directions

In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until they become slightly tender, for about 2-3 minutes.
Push the sautéed onions and bell peppers to one side of the skillet and add the turkey sausage to the other side. Cook the sausage until it is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl and season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Push the sausage and vegetables to the side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until they are scrambled and fully cooked, for about 2-3 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked, combine them with the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture and let it melt slightly.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and patting them dry. Place the scrambled egg, sausage, and cheese mixture onto the center of the lettuce leaves.
Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves inward, then roll them up tightly to form a burrito shape.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, high-protein breakfast burrito!
