Scrambled Eggs with Turkey Sausage

Ingredients

• ¾ pound sweet turkey sausage, casings removed
• 3 large eggs
• ⅓ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• ⅛ cup chopped fresh chives
• ⅛ cup grated cheddar cheese, optional
• ⅓ teaspoon dried sage
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

Method

1. 1Cook the turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
2. 2Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
3. 3Reduce the heat to medium and add the softened butter to the same skillet, letting it melt and coat the bottom.
4. 4Pour in the eggs and let them cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes.
5. 5Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet with the eggs and stir gently to combine, cooking until the eggs are almost set, about 2-3 minutes more.
6. 6Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs and sausage together, taking care not to overmix, until the eggs are cooked through and there's no more liquid egg visible.
7. 7Season the scrambled eggs with salt, pepper, dried sage, and cayenne pepper, if using, and stir in the chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
8. 8Serve the scrambled eggs and turkey sausage hot, straight from the skillet.
9. 9Transfer the scrambled eggs to a warm plate and garnish with additional chives, if desired.
