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.
