Instructions
Preparation
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spread the frozen diced or shredded potatoes evenly at the bottom.
- Sprinkle the cooked turkey sausage over the potatoes. Add the diced red and orange bell peppers and the yellow onion, distributing evenly. Top with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, skim milk, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring it covers everything.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 7-8 hours overnight.
- In the morning, lift the lid and use a spatula to scoop out portions. Serve immediately with fresh fruit or a light salad.
