For as long as I can remember, my mom has made a breakfast casserole every holiday morning. I decided to remake it this year for me and my brother on thanksgiving and made a few swaps to make it a little healthier. This is such a great breakfast to have on Christmas morning because it will keep you full till Christmas lunch/dinner and will leave you feeling great.

It has always been tradition in our family to prepare it together the night before, not only does this help with the taste but also eliminates prep time in the morning so you are able to spend that time enjoying family company!



Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey (the original recipe calls for Italian sausage, I add 2 tbsp. Italian seasoning and 1 tbsp. maple syrup to ground turkey for flavor)

  • 6 eggs (I use vital farms pasture-raised eggs)

  • 2 cups non-dairy milk (I used oat milk but any milk will work)

  • 6 slices of bread (I use Dave's Killer Bread or Sourdough)

  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt

  • 8 oz. freshly grated cheddar cheese


instructions

  1. Begin by add 2 tbsp. of Italian seasoning and 1 tbsp. maple syrup to ground turkey and mix.

  2. Add ground turkey to pan on medium and cook till turkey is fully browned.

  3. Cut bread into small squares, I typically do 4 cuts horizontally then 4 cuts vertically to make cubes. Use all pieces including the crust.

  4. In a large mixing bowl add 6 eggs, 2 cups milk, salt, and mix.

  5. Next add bread cubes, ground turkey and cheese to the mixing bowl and continue mixing.

  6. Use ghee or avocado oil to grease a 9x11 pan.

  7. IF PREPPING NIGHT BEFORE: cover with tin foil and place in fridge overnight.

  8. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated! I made it a point to cater my recipes to have minimal ingredients along with little prep time. With most of my recipes I will include optional add on’s that may have extra nutritional benefits but if you don’t have them, the recipe will be just as tasty!

Let the posts
come to you.
