Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil plus more for coating the dish
- 1 lb Ground Turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 12 large Eggs
- 1 small Sweet Potato, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Line Sweet Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the sweet potato. Lay the slices evenly in a single layer across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating the base layer of the casserole.
- Cook Ground Turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, spread the turkey evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs along with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the seasoned egg mixture evenly over the turkey layer. Then, sprinkle the baby spinach on top to finish assembling the casserole.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is firm to the touch.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your protein-packed breakfast casserole warm.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or lean ground beef if preferred.
- Adding diced onions or bell peppers to the ground turkey while cooking can increase flavor and vegetable content.
- If you like a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before whisking.
- Ensure sweet potato slices are thin for even cooking and to prevent undercooked spots.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
