Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 12 ounces Lean ground turkey sausage
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 3 slices Whole-grain bread, cubed
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Layer the cubed whole-grain bread evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked turkey sausage and sautéed vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole ingredients, making sure everything is coated. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure all the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 7

Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
