Scale

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup diced onion

  • 1 cup diced bell pepper

  • 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, chopped

  • 1–2 cups spinach (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp Italian herbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roast sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper for 20–25 minutes.

  • Sauté onion and peppers until soft. Add sausage and optional spinach. Cook 2–3 more minutes.

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs with cottage cheese and seasonings. Stir in cheese if using.

  • Lower oven to 375°F. Layer roasted potatoes in a greased 9×13 dish. Top with sausage mixture, then pour egg mix over.
