I like using turkey sausage in place of beef or pork because it isn’t as fatty,
but can taste just as delicious with some seasoning. The turkey is joined by
cubed butternut squash and spinach, so this egg casserole is bursting with
satisfying flavors and nutrition. After cooking the sausage and squash, you
add to a baking dish and pour over the eggs. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The
whole thing takes less than an hour!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground turkey sausage
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups diced butternut squash
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 egg whites
Instructions:
1. Turn your oven to 400-degrees.
2. Put a skillet on the burner and turn to medium-high.
3. When hot, add sausage and cook, stirring, until browned.
4. Scoop sausage out and plate.
5. Add oil to the pan, and then butternut squash.
6. Stir and cook for 8-1o minutes, until the squash is softened.
7. Sprinkle in dry seasonings and spinach, cooking for just 1 minute
until it wilts.
8. In a bowl, whisk your eggs and egg whites.
9. Grease a baking dish.
10. Add sausage and squash/spinach into the dish, and pour over the
eggs.
11. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the eggs are set.
12. Serve!
