Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Step 3
3. In the same skillet, add the avocado oil and heat over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop golden edges.
Step 4
4. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 5
5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, dried thyme, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
6. Spread the cooked turkey sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the sweet potato and vegetable mixture, distributing it evenly.
Step 7
7. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables, ensuring everything is covered. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Step 9
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
