# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. This initial step ensures your Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole with Turkey Sausage bakes evenly and prevents sticking, making cleanup easier.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground turkey sausage, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add 1/2 yellow onion and 1 medium red bell pepper; cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 cloves garlic and 5 oz fresh spinach until wilted.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. This forms the rich, savory foundation for your Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole with Turkey Sausage.
04 -
Add the cooked turkey sausage and vegetable mixture to the egg base. Stir in 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated for a balanced flavor in every bite of your casserole.
05 -
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly to ensure consistent cooking. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
06 -
Once baked, remove the Low Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole with Turkey Sausage from the oven. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for a fresh finish.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or sage to the turkey sausage while it cooks.
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 customize your veggies! Broccoli florets, mushrooms, or kale would also work wonderfully in this casserole.
