Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground turkey or ground pork—your choice!
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 10-ounce package of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed as dry as possible
- 3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 10 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or non-dairy milk of choice
- 10 ounces frozen hash browns thawed (about 2 cups)
- 4 medium green onions chopped, divided
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and mist a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let cook until it begins to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, sage, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Break up meat into small pieces and continue to brown until it cooks through completely, about 7 additional minutes. Drain away any excess grease (you may have some if you use pork).
- Add the spinach, garlic and half of the green onions. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, distributing the spinach as evenly as possible. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk.
- Scatter the hash browns in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Scatter the meat and sausage mixture over the top of the hash browns. Gently pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions. Cover the pan with foil.
- Bake immediately or you can cover and refrigerate it overnight! (See blog post for suggestions).
- Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for 15 to 20 additional minutes, until the casserole is golden at the edges and the eggs are set in the center. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
