Description
A delicious and nutritious breakfast casserole featuring a blend of turkey sausage, sweet butternut squash, and nutrient-packed spinach, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb. lean ground turkey sausage
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 4 cups spinach, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 4 egg whites
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Remove sausage and set aside. In the same pan, add olive oil, then the butternut squash and red onion.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if burning.
- Add salt, garlic powder, oregano, and pepper, stirring to distribute the flavors.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs until frothy. In a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray, combine sausage and butternut squash mixture.
- Pour the eggs over the top, ensuring everything is coated.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set; a toothpick should come out clean when done.
Notes
For a crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes. Assemble and refrigerate overnight for stress-free mornings. Make sure to pre-cook the veggies well to avoid a soggy bottom.
