Instructions
Cook the 1 pound ground turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked and no pink remains. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Place half of the frozen potatoes into the slow cooker. Top with half the cooked sausage, half the 1/2 cup red bell pepper, half the 1/2 cup orange bell pepper, half the 1 cup yellow onion, and half of the 1 1/2 cup slow-fat cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, the remaining cooked sausage, the remaining red and orange bell pepper, the remaining yellow onion, and the remaining slow-fat cheddar cheese.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, 3/4 cup skim milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker. Gently press down so the liquid reaches the lower layers.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 8 1/2 hours, until the eggs are fully set in the center.
Serve hot.
