I love casseroles. This casserole is healthy, high in protein and low carb. This casserole can be paleo friendly, if you nix the cheese.
Ingredients:
1lb – turkey breakfast sausage (I used Honeysuckle brand)
1 – large sweet potato (or 2 small)
1/2 – onion, chopped
1/2 – mushrooms, chopped
3 – eggs
6 – egg whites
1/2 cup – almond milk (any kind will work)
1/2 cup – 2% cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop sweet potato into small pieces and bake on a greased baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until soft. Cook turkey sausage on medium heat until no longer pink. Add mushrooms and onions to sausage mix and cook until soft. Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk together. Grease a 8×8 casserole dish. Place cooked sweet potato at the bottom of the casserole dish. Add turkey sausage mixture on top. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of sausage. Pour egg/milk mixture on top of everything. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until eggs are set.
Optional: If you want to add more cheese on top, remove with 10 minutes left to bake and add cheese on top. Bring heat up to broil and bake until cheese starts to brown.
One serving is 300 calories, 22 grams of protein, and 10 carbs. One serving equals 1/4 recipe.
