Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken sausage (or a plant-based sausage option)
½ onion, diced
1 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
8 large eggs
½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
½ cup shredded cheese (optional, or use dairy-free cheese)
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Cook the Sausage and Veggies

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground turkey or sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, spinach, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Whisk the Eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until fully combined.

Assemble the Casserole

Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it evenly covers the filling.
Sprinkle with cheese, if using.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. For a crispier top, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes, monitoring closely.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice into portions. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

This versatile casserole is perfect for meal prep or serving a crowd. Pair it with a fresh salad or toast for a complete breakfast!
