Healthy Breakfast Casserole
This breakfast casserole is delicious, healthy and easy to make. Filled with turkey, spinach and artichoke, it's naturally low-carb, dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo friendly.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 16 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
- 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach plus extra for garnish
- Optional: cheese (my favorites are fresh parmesan and goat cheese)
Instructions
- Add the veggies and meat. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190ªC). Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, give it a stir, then add the ground turkey and use a spatula to break up the turkey.
- Season and brown the meat. Add the chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper, then stir to combine. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until there is no liquid in the pan and the meat is cooked through and browned.
- Add the spinach. Add the spinach to the meat mixture and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spinach just starts to wilt.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Transfer the meat to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and evenly cover the bottom. Top with the artichoke hearts and beaten eggs. Optional: you can add some cheese at this stage, if you'd like.
- Top with greens. Sprinkle the green onion and if you'd like, an additional handful of baby spinach on top. Bake the casserole in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve. Before serving, garnish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and any additional cheese, if you'd like.

Notes
- You can make this breakfast casserole overnight or ahead of time. Just cover it and place it in the fridge. You can also freeze it. It reheats beautifully, which makes it perfect for meal prep.
- The 9x13 casserole dish I used in this recipe is no longer available online, but I really love this casserole dish as well.
