Ingredients
- 12 links turkey sausage
- 1 small white onion
- ½ red bell pepper
- ½ yellow bell pepper
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 ¼ cup egg whites
- ½ cup skim milk Fairlife
- 1 lbs Ora-Ida Frozen Diced Hash Brown Potatoes (½ bag)
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Green Goddess Seasoning Trader Joe's
- salt & pepper to taste
- ¾ cup pepper jack cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp diced green onions for garnish
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Start by preparing the filling ingredients. Use a vegetable chopper to dice the white onion, red and orange bell pepper. Dice the cooked turkey sausage into small coins.
- In a blender, add egg whites, eggs, cottage cheese, milk and green goddess seasoning. Blend until cottage cheese is thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add white onion, turkey sausage, and bell peppers. Sauté until they’re translucent. Roughly 5-7 minutes.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Add the frozen diced potatoes to the dish. Drizzle olive oil on the potatoes and season with onion powder and paprika. Toss so the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Add the sautéed onion, bell pepper, and turkey sausage to the pyrex pan on top of the potatoes. Then pour the blended egg mixture over all of the ingredients. Stir it so the potatoes are combined with the egg/veggie/sausage mixture. Top the entire casserole with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until egg mixture is fully cooked throughout. Garnish with diced green onions and enjoy!
