  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Ingredient Expanded Notes:

  • Turkey Sausage: Opt for lean turkey sausage to keep the dish low in fat. Look for varieties with minimal additives.
  • Eggs: Use large eggs for a rich and creamy texture in the scramble. Eggs provide a protein boost to keep you energized throughout the day.
