Description
A high protein breakfast casserole, loaded with savory turkey sausage, fluffy eggs and creamy cottage cheese that bakes up rich and satisfying with bell peppers and fresh baby spinach adding vibrant pops of color and flavor
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast turkey sausage
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 3 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 12 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the breakfast turkey sausage to a skillet over medium high heat. Break up the turkey (I love this meat chopper for ground meat) and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate
- Add olive oil to the same skillet you just used for the turkey. Add in the onion and red pepper and cook for a few minutes until softened and onion becomes translucent. Remove the pan off the heat.
- Add the eggs, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Stir in cottage cheese. Then, stir in the turkey sausage mixture and the fresh spinach.
- Coat the bottom and sides of a medium casserole dish (7×10) with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Pour casserole into the casserole dish and bake casserole for 40-45 minutes, until the center is cooked through and mostly firm. Note: Check the casserole halfway through, and cover with foil if the top is starting to brown too much.
- Allow casserole to cool for 10 minutes. Top with chopped green onions, slice, and enjoy!
