Egg and Sausage Casserole

EGG & SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

My mom made this egg casserole all growing up (and still does) for all of our special holidays we spend together! I cant say I have ever gotten sick of it! We always look forward to our egg casserole, blueberry muffins and orange juice!
Because we love this recipe so much- and it was slightly "dirty"- I decided to clean it up so it had less processed foods, less fat, and less sodium.



Clean Egg Casserole

My mom usually would just use a can of mushroom soup- which I now have a home made recipe for and she would use the Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage ground pork.

We have a retreat comeing up this weekend for us Beachbody coaches on the Dream Team (WAHOO!) so I decided this would be a perfect dish to bring! However my moms recipe didn't cut it ;)

So I went back to the drawing board to clean it up... and here is what I came up with....

2 cups cheddar cheese - grated

1 cup of homemade cream of mushroom soup

1 dozen eggs

1 lb. of  ground turkey breakfast sausage 

  

Brown sausage and drain well

Grate cheese 

Beat eggs

Mix all together with soup in bowl and pour into a 9x13 inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when tested.

Can be reheated later.

(Can also eat with hot sauce on top ) 

Enjoy! 

We sure did 😊 yummy !! 

Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Your favorite morning Breakfast Sausage, revamped to be CLEAN!
that's right.. no guilt! Less fat and PURE YUMMINESS!!!!

Here is what you will need....

1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce (I make my own!)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp group black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper if you want spicy (or just omit)
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8tsp onion powder
1 lb ground turkey
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

In large bowl mix applesauce, salt, pepper, cayenne, sage, red pepper flakes, coriander, garlic powder and onion powder. 

Once mixed, add in ground turkey.  Mix until turkey is completely saturated and coated in mixture.

Then you can press into patties and cook on the stove, or you can cook as ground meat to add into your favorite eggs, wraps or egg casserole!

Cook until golden brown and no longer pink.
