Instructions
1
In a large skillet, cook the Italian turkey sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Transfer the cooked sausage to a 13x9-inch baking dish that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Evenly sprinkle the diced sweet red pepper and onion over the sausage.

In a separate bowl, combine the thawed egg substitute, drained chopped green chilies, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
5
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the baking dish, ensuring even coverage.
6
Bake the mixture uncovered in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set and firm to the touch.
7
Once baked, use a spoon to gently break up the mixture into small pieces for easier wrapping.
8
To assemble the burritos, place approximately 2/3 cup of the sausage and egg mixture down the center of each warmed tortilla, then top with salsa to taste.
9
Fold one end of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the two sides in to create a wrap. Optionally, you can secure each burrito with a toothpick if desired.
10
If you prefer, fry up some hash browns or tater tots to either serve on the side or include inside the burrito for extra crunch and flavor.
