Earlier this week, I made a breakfast casserole for a friend who just had a baby and eats mostly paleo. The recipe looked good, so I doubled it and made one for myself...and oh my it was GOOD! But true to form, I thought that I could definitely get some more veggies in and do less processed meat. So, here is what I came up with and it delivers. I made it a bit spicy so if that's not your thing, use less pepper flakes :)
What you need:
- 1 tbsp avocado, coconut, olive oil, butter, ghee...your choice...I like avocado oil best :)
- 1 lb ground turkey (I like the 93% lean)
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed (if you're lazy like me, Trader Joe's sells sweet potatoes already cubed)
- 1 package (3 cups) cooked cauliflower rice (I get it at Trader Joe's in the frozen section and microwave for 3 minutes)
- 3 cups fresh, shopped spinach
- 1/2 large yellow onion diced
- 12 eggs, beaten
- 3 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp sage
- 3/4 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
What you do:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees
- Toss sweet potatoes in oil and place them on baking sheet. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until soft
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, brown the ground turkey with onions until finished (no pink)
- Add pepper, 2 tsp salt, sage and thyme to meat and mix well
- Add cooked cauliflower rice and sweet potatoes to meat mixture and combine
- Whip the garlic powder and remaining salt into the eggs
- Grease a 9x13 pan and pour all ingredients together, including eggs
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until eggs are set
- This lasts for about a week in the fridge...enjoy!
