Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound low-sodium turkey sausage
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and crumble the low-sodium turkey sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Stir in garlic powder, black pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and spinach evenly over the bottom.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, low-sodium breakfast casserole!
