# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil. This prepares your dish for the delicious Easy Turkey Sausage & Egg Keto Breakfast Casserole, ensuring nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage until browned, breaking it apart. Drain any excess fat. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion and 1/2 medium red bell pepper, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened.
03 -
Stir in 2 cups fresh spinach, packed, into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted down. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
04 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 4 oz full-fat cream cheese (softened), 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth. This forms the creamy base for your Easy Turkey Sausage & Egg Keto Breakfast Casserole.
05 -
Spread the cooked turkey sausage and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese. This completes the assembly of your Easy Turkey Sausage & Egg Keto Breakfast Casserole.
06 -
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is lightly golden brown. An inserted knife should come out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain a moist texture.
07 -
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the Easy Turkey Sausage & Egg Keto Breakfast Casserole to set properly, making it easier to cut into neat portions.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, consider using a spicy turkey sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
03 -
Feel free to swap out the bell pepper and spinach for other keto-friendly vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or kale.
04 -
Serve this casserole with a side of sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream for added healthy fats and flavor.
