Ingredients
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 lb Ground Turkey
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
12 large Eggs
1 small Sweet Potato peeled and sliced thin
1 cup Baby Spinach
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375℉ and grease a 9 x 9 baking dish with coconut oil.
Peel and slice the sweet potato, making sure to cut them 1/4-inch slices. Line the bottom of the greased baking dish with the sliced potatoes in a single layer, some overlap is okay.
Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey and season with additional spices if desired. Using a spatula, break the meat apart and cook until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and place on top of the sweet potato layer.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until combined. Add the paprika, garlic powder, and any additional salt and pepper if desired. Pour over the ground turkey layer.
Place the dish in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Carefully slide the dish out, without removing it from the oven, and top with the spinach. Return to its position and continue cooking for 5 to 15 minutes until the center of the casserole is firm.
Notes
sausage to get a richer breakfast sausage kind of flavor. You can also use ground chicken or ground beef.
Make individual servings. Use a 12-cup silicone muffin pan to make individual servings. These individual servings can also be frozen if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
Turn it into a quiche. By preparing a simple Buttermilk Pie Crust you can make this recipe in a pie dish instead for a delicious quiche.
If the top of the casserole begins to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil. This will also require you to cook it a little longer (about 5 minutes more) since it will be covered.
Casserole not cooked in the center? There could be many reasons for this such as oven temperature to altitude, but it’s best to try adding 10 minutes at a time and check the center after each addition. It should be firm to touch and not jiggly or loose.
You may not need the entire sweet potato. Remember to just barely let the potato slices overlap when layering the bottom of the dish.
