Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole: Serves 6

A great dish to make ahead with plenty of servings leftover for quick breakfast or lunch ideas!

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Trim the dark green part, as well as the root end, off the leek. Peel off the brittle outer layer, if desired. If your leek stalk is very large, you can cut the stalk in half. Slice the leek into ¼-inch pieces.
  3. Fill a large bowl with water (more than halfway up the sides). Drop your sliced leeks into the water, breaking up any pieces that are stuck together. Allow leeks to soak for about 10 minutes in the water.
  4. Remove the leeks from the water, scraping the very top of the surface of the water only (the sand and grit falls from the leeks to the bottom of the bowl, so you don’t want to pick up any of that when you remove the leeks).
  5. Allow the leeks to drain on a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Wash and dry the kale leaves. Cut the stem off of the leaves (or tear the leaves off of the stems). Chop kale into bite-sized pieces.
  7. In another large bowl, add ground turkey. Add Italian seasoning, sage, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix well.
  8. Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, and break up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently.
