How to Make Turkey Sausage Tomato and Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Saute the onion and ground turkey in oil. Cook the meat and break up into small crumbles until browned and then season.
Step 2: While the turkey cooks, scramble 12 eggs with the whole milk in a large bowl.
Step 3: Add chopped tomatoes to the pan with the turkey and onions and then pour in into a greased casserole dish.
Step 4: Pour the egg and milk mixture into the casserole dish and stir everything together. Top with crumbled goat cheese. I like to also add some thinly sliced tomatoes on top.
Step 5: Bake in the oven at 350F for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. I like to cut into servings before storing in the fridge.
Mad’s Expert Tips for the Best Turkey Sausage, Tomato and Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole 🍳
- Don’t overcook your ground turkey – when you saute your turkey, be careful not to overcook it in the pan. It will continue to cook in the oven, so you don’t need to finish cooking when sauteing.
- Drain your tomatoes as necessary – if you are using more juicy tomatoes, make sure to drain some of the liquid to avoid getting a watery texture for your casserole.
- If you substitute ground pork or sausage, drain some of the fat – Since ground turkey is more lean, it doesn’t produce as much fat in the pan that could get into the casserole. If you substitute a fattier meat, make sure to keep the grease out of your casserole.
