Description
A delicious and hearty breakfast option made with lean ground turkey, fresh vegetables, and fluffy eggs, perfect for meal prep or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 cup milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme), chopped
- 1 cup bread cubes or frozen hash browns
- Jalapeños or cayenne pepper (for spicy variation)
- Alternative cheeses like feta, pepper jack, or gouda
- Vegetarian substitutes: sautéed mushrooms or crumbled tofu
- Milk alternatives (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or lactose-free milk)
Instructions
- Brown the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Break it apart until fully cooked and no longer pink. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for flavor.
- In the same pan, lightly sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and spinach until softened.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs until smooth and fluffy.
- Grease a baking dish and layer the cooked turkey, sautéed vegetables, and optional bread cubes or hash browns evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the layers, pressing gently to coat everything.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–40 minutes, until the center is firm and the top is golden brown. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For easier serving, allow the casserole to cool a bit; it will hold its shape better. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
