This was inspired by my other egg recipe, Indian spiced green egg wrap, and pairs well with my matcha latte recipe. I love serving this for a bigger crowd when entertaining in my home. Joe loves this recipe, especially because it has his favorites, sausage, potato, and egg. It's become a tradition to make it the night before any holiday morning, like Easter, Mother's Day or even Christmas morning.

🥣 Egg & Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe Ingredients

To make the most delicious egg and turkey sausage casserole recipe, you will simply need to gather a few key ingredients that create a yummy breakfast casserole.

1. Eggs - Great source of protein, plus you get nutrients like choline from the yolk in the egg.
2. Turkey Sausage - Turkey sausage is a wonderful protein source without the extra fat you typically get from traditional sausage.
3. Sweet Potato - I like sweet potatoes for this easy breakfast recipe. However, you can swap with your favorite potato of choice. Red potatoes or even tater tots will work in this recipe. Experiment with different types of sweet potatoes. I used Japanese sweet potatoes in this recipe.
4. Onion - I prefer yellow or white onions, but any onion works well too.
5. Garlic - Garlic have long been hailed for their incredible health benefits, particularly when it comes to supporting gut health and balancing hormones.
6. Bell Peppers - Try either red, green, or yellow bell peppers, or even a mixture of all three colors.
7. Mushrooms - Mushrooms contain polyphenols and carotenoids, which can help protect the body against free radical cell damage.
8. Spinach - One handful of this leafy green is perfect to add healthy veggies to your breakfast casserole.
9. Ground Turmeric Powder - This powerful spice is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties. Ground turmeric is also much more concentrated. Perfect spice for this casserole recipe for breakfast.
10. Black Pepper - The addition of black pepper increases the bioavailability of turmeric's antioxidant properties.
11. Spices - I used a combination of sea salt, rosemary, paprika, and thyme.
12. Olive Oil - I like extra virgin olive oil, but you can swap with avocado oil.

❓ Can I Use Red Potatoes Instead of Sweet Potatoes in This Egg Breakfast Casserole Recipe?

If you don't have sweet potatoes on hand, but want to swap with another potato, that is fine too. I like to use red potato in this recipe, because I typically have plenty of those on hand from my garden.

I have even used tater tots, which are convenient because they are already prepped and ready to use.

🍠 Sweet Potato Health Benefits

Sweet potatoes are not only rich in fiber, but are also excellent sources of vitamin A and beta-carotene. Vitamin A helps regenerate collagen, which in turn keeps your skin looking smooth. The fiber in sweet potatoes helps keep you full for longer, but can also help manage blood sugar levels.

Sweet potatoes can help cell turnover, which can help heal wounds and diminish scars. You can read more about the health and beauty benefits of sweet potatoes. These are just some wonderful reasons why I added sweet potato to this easy breakfast casserole recipe.

🩺 Health Benefits of Spinach

I love this anti-aging vegetable because it helps keep your skin soft, hydrated, and gives a radiant, dewy glow to your skin. Spinach is rich in iron, folate, and B vitamins.

Feeling tired? Spinach is a food you should include in your meals. Think of Popeye, he loved his spinach and for good reason.

This is one of the most versatile healthy greens you can have on hand. Spinach is a great source of iron, folate, potassium, vitamin A and C. In addition, spinach is known for its high vitamin K content. This vitamin is responsible for healthy blood clotting.

One simple spinach leaf actually contains more than half of your daily vitamin K needs for the day. Impressive, right?

Spinach is Loaded With Healthy Plant Compounds

Zeaxanthin and lutein found in spinach are known for its supportive nature surrounding healthy vision.

Kaempferol is a powerful antioxidant that can decrease your risks of chronic diseases like high blood pressure and heart disease.

Nitrates found in spinach also protect the health of your heart.

I love to saute a handful with my morning eggs to bulk up the fiber content and also help with my seasonal allergies. That is another wonderful reason I included spinach in this recipe.

Quercetin, found in spinach, is great for reducing inflammation and minimizing allergy symptoms.

❓ What is a Breakfast Casserole?

A breakfast casserole is a dish typically composed of ingredients such as eggs, cheese, potato or bread, and sometimes meat and vegetables, all combined and baked together in one dish. It is convenient for serving a group and can often be prepared ahead of time.

❓ Why You Should Make an Egg & Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe?

My breakfast casserole is unique and doesn't have any bread or cheese. I swapped those out for potatoes and nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast gives this casserole a cheesy flavor, and the potatoes replace the bread.

👩‍🍳 How to Make a Breakfast Casserole?

🦃 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside while the oven preheats. Remove turkey sausage from casings.

🍠 In a large pan, cook the turkey sausage and sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook until sausage is browned and cooked through. Drain and set aside.

🫒 In the same large pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, onions, mushrooms and bell peppers. Cook until the onions are translucent.

🥬 Add in a handful of raw spinach, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until slightly wilted. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

🥚 In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the cooled sausage, potato, and veggie mixture. Stir in nutritional yeast, minced garlic, salt, and spices.

🔪 Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, depending on your oven calibration, settings. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
