Description
A versatile and healthy breakfast casserole combining sweet potatoes, eggs, and turkey sausage, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb uncooked turkey sausage
- 5 cups sweet potatoes, cubed (1-inch)
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, onion, and diced green bell pepper. Cook for about 8–9 minutes until the vegetables are softened, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic near the end of cooking.
- Once cooked, transfer the vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish.
- In the same pan, cook the turkey sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Add the cooked sausage to the baking dish and mix it with the vegetables.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the contents in the baking dish, ensuring that you gently stir to distribute everything evenly.
- Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until the center is firm. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with foil for the last few minutes of baking.
- Once done, let the casserole rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

This casserole can be prepared the night before. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Feel free to customize with different vegetables or cheeses.
