High-Protein Egg Bake
Here is my reel for the recipe!
Looking for an easy breakfast to prep ahead? Or maybe a high protein breakfast casserole? If so, you must try this simple, classic egg bake! It’s high in protein from the eggs, ground turkey, milk, and cheese. To make this an incredible balanced breakfast, this egg bake has sweet potatoes for a complex carbohydrate, veggies for fiber + antioxidants, and healthy fats!

1 lb ground turkey (I used 93% lean 7% fat)
2 tsp Italian seasoning

1.5 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 medium sweet potato peeled and cut into cubes (~4 cups)
1/2 medium onion diced
1 medium red bell pepper diced
5 cups of loosely packed spinach
12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk if you want a dairy free option!)
1 cup shredded cheese or your juice (I used goat)
