Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 cup diced bell peppers
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   Allow the oven to fully preheat before baking so the casserole cooks evenly.

2. In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned.
   Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks, and continue until it is browned throughout.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
   Whisk until the eggs and milk are well combined and the seasonings are evenly distributed.

4. Stir in the cooked turkey, cheese, bell peppers, and spinach.
   Mix gently until the turkey, cheese, vegetables, and egg mixture are combined throughout.

5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
   Spread the mixture into an even layer so it bakes consistently.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
   The casserole is ready when the center is set and no longer appears liquid.

7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
   A short cooling period helps the casserole hold its shape when sliced.

How to Serve It

• Serve warm with fresh fruit for a simple, balanced breakfast.
• Pair it with toast, English muffins, or roasted potatoes for a more substantial meal.
• Add a garnish of chopped herbs, extra shredded cheese, or a spoonful of salsa for more color and flavor.

How to Store It

Let leftover casserole cool slightly, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. Reheat individual portions until warmed through, taking care not to overcook the eggs.

For longer storage, place cooled portions in freezer-safe containers or wrap them securely before freezing. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator, then reheat until hot throughout. The texture may be slightly softer after freezing, but gentle reheating helps preserve the casserole’s quality.

Helpful Tips

• Grease the baking dish well so the casserole releases easily when sliced.
• Spread the ingredients evenly in the dish to help the eggs set at the same rate.
• Allow the casserole to cool slightly before cutting; this makes cleaner slices and helps prevent the pieces from falling apart.

Optional Variations

• Use your favorite shredded cheese to change the flavor and texture.
• Add other vegetables, such as chopped onions or mushrooms, if desired.
• Replace the bell peppers with another colorful pepper variety for a different flavor and appearance.
