Casserole
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown the turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat, breaking up into small pieces. Don’t worry if the sausage does not fully cook, as it will finish in the oven.
Grease baking dish with light tasting or avocado oil and line bottom with cooked turkey sausage.
Add a little olive oil to the skillet and sauté the onion for five minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn it.
Reduce heat to low and add the package of frozen spinach, cut up into small cubes, allowing it to melt into the onions and garlic.
While the spinach is thawing in the pan, crack 12 eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat well. Stir in the mustard, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, and green chilis.
Once spinach is defrosted into the onion & garlic mixture, stir the vegetables into to the egg mixture and mix well. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the turkey sausage just hanging out in the glass baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes on the middle rack of the oven, or until casserole is set in the middle and not runny. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Bryce adds: "We cut of a piece of the casserole every morning and pop it in the microwave for three and a half minutes at 50% power. Usually pair it with half a grapefruit and black coffee. Such a great way to start the morning. Easy, fast, and filling. Recipe can be altered to a variety of taste profiles. We tried chorizo. We tried Mexican (with chipotle peppers in the egg mixture). It’s a great palette to explore with. But the above recipe is far and away our favorite."
