Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole

easy Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole recipe

A turkey sausage breakfast casserole is a baked egg dish that combines lean turkey sausage, cheese, and eggs into a comforting one-pan meal. It’s lower in fat than traditional pork sausage casseroles but just as hearty and filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a lighter version)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 3 cups thawed hashbrowns (or cubed bread)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Cook turkey sausage

In a skillet, cook ground turkey sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess moisture and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté vegetables

In the same skillet, cook onion and red bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until soft.

Step 4: Prepare egg mixture

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until smooth.

Step 5: Assemble casserole

Layer hashbrowns evenly at the bottom of the baking dish. Add cooked sausage and vegetables on top, then pour the egg mixture evenly over everything. Sprinkle cheese across the top.

Step 6: Bake casserole

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are set and the top is golden.

Step 7: Rest and serve

Allow the casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
