Description

This Turkey and Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole is a hearty and nutritious start to your day, featuring layers of thinly sliced sweet potatoes, seasoned ground turkey, and fresh baby spinach, all bound together with savory spiced eggs. Baked to perfection, it offers a delicious and protein-packed breakfast option that’s easy to make and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil, plus more for greasing 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

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Sweet Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the sweet potato. Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish evenly with the sweet potato slices to create the base layer for the casserole.
  3. Cook Ground Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Spread the cooked turkey evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the turkey layer in the baking dish. Then, scatter the baby spinach evenly on top.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is firm to the touch. The casserole should have a slight golden color on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or lean pork if desired.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or bell peppers to the ground turkey while cooking.
  • The casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight; bake just before serving.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave or oven.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, simply ensure that all seasoning powders are certified gluten-free.
