This healthy breakfast casserole is made with homemade turkey sausage, hash browns, egg whites, onion, bell peppers, rotel (optional), and shredded cheese.
Dice the onions and bell peppers. In a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, saute the onions and bell peppers in a bit of oil. Set aside.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet.
Once the turkey cooks through, add the sausage spices: brown sugar, ground sage, ground marjoram, ground thyme, ground cloves, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Combine the onion, bell peppers, and turkey sausage together. Set aside.
Crack the eggs in a large bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg yolks.
Add the milk, rotel, and salt to the egg whites. Mix together.
Preheat the oven to 350 ℉ (180 ℃). Spread the breakfast turkey sausage into a 9" x 13" casserole dish.
Spread the frozen hash browns on top.
Pour the egg mixture on top of the hash browns.
Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
Add parchment paper and foil. Bake at 350 ℉ (180 ℃) for 35 minutes covered and 35 minutes uncovered. The total cooking time is 70 minutes.
Serve with cilantro, green onions, and some hot sauce.
