Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean or extra lean ground turkey
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp herbs of choice (parsley, thyme, or chives)

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 cups bread cubes or 2 cups hash browns (for a heartier base)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey Mixture: Cook the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart gently. Add diced onions, garlic, and bell peppers, sautéing until cooked through and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs of choice.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy, ensuring a light and fluffy casserole.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a baking dish and layer the cooked turkey mixture evenly. If using, add a layer of bread cubes or hash browns next. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle shredded cheese generously across the surface.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it hold its shape and enhances the flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and quality turkey for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbeat eggs to avoid a tough or rubbery casserole.
  • Let the casserole rest for better slicing and flavor development.
  • Customize the cheese using cheddar, mozzarella, or blends for varied creamy textures.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme to brighten the flavors.
