Tofu and Veggie Sausage Scramble With Turmeric

Tofu is an inexpensive, high-protein, low-fat food that deserves a place at your table. This easy scramble delivers 23% of your daily iron requirement on top of being a savory, hearty breakfast with a generous serving of vegetables on every plate. Since vegetarian sources of iron aren’t as well absorbed as meat sources, add a source of vitamin C like a bell pepper to maximize absorption.

Ingredients for servings

    Scramble

  • 12 oz firm nigari tofu drained

  • 0.25 cup rolled oats

  • 1 cup carrot shredded

  • 2 medium scallions chopped

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 4 Morningstar Farms Breakfast Veggie Sausages chopped

  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved

  • 2 cup baby spinach chopped

Directions

  • Drain the tofu and wrap in a thick kitchen towel. Press out excess water by placing a heavy pot on top for about 10 minutes. Unwrap and crumble the tofu into a large bowl. Add the oats and stir. Add the carrots, scallions and turmeric and mix well.

  • Coat a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the chopped sausages. Stir for 30 seconds or so, then add the tofu mixture and stir. Scrape and stir until the tofu is browned in spots, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir for a minute, until softened and heated through. Add the spinach and stir just until wilted, then serve.
