Imagine waking up to the enticing aroma of a warm, savory breakfast casserole, ready to nourish your body and delight your taste buds. This easy-to-make casserole is packed with protein, offering a satisfying and flavorful way to start your day. Chunks of seasoned turkey mingle with tender vegetables, all bound together in a creamy, cheesy embrace.

Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, from the slight chewiness of the turkey to the gentle crispness of the vegetables and the smooth, melted cheese. The eggs provide a light and airy foundation, ensuring the casserole isn't too heavy but remains incredibly filling. Its rich and savory profile makes it a comforting and wholesome option, providing sustained energy to power you through your morning.

The beauty of this dish lies in its adaptability. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking, selecting your favorites to create a truly personalized casserole. Whether you prefer the subtle earthiness of mushrooms, the slight bitterness of kale, or the mild sweetness of spinach, the possibilities are endless.

This flexibility allows you to cater to different preferences and dietary needs, ensuring everyone can enjoy a slice of this delicious creation. Preparation is a breeze, making it ideal for busy individuals or families. The ingredients can be prepped in advance, allowing you to simply assemble and bake the casserole when you're ready.

This time-saving feature makes it perfect for meal prepping, ensuring you have a nutritious breakfast option readily available throughout the week. Simply portion out individual servings and store them in the refrigerator for a quick and easy breakfast on the go. Whether enjoyed warm straight from the oven or reheated, this breakfast casserole is a delightful and convenient way to nourish your body and kickstart your day with a burst of flavor and goodness.

Consider swapping the turkey for other protein options to vary the flavor profile. Ground beef, chicken, or even crumbled sausage would work beautifully, each adding its unique character to the dish. For a meat-free alternative, try adding sautéed mushrooms or cubed tofu for a vegetarian option that is just as satisfying.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350 F/180 C and line a casserole dish with baking paper. Add the oil to a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden.
    2.
    Transfer the cooked meat to a large bowl. Cut the broccoli into small florets, dice the bell pepper, and slice the scallion. Add them to the bowl.
    3.
    Add the eggs, heavy cream, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
    4.
    Sprinkle the cheese on top. Transfer the dish to the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, and the cheese is golden.
    5.
    Place the casserole dish on the counter and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Cut into 4 slices and top each with ½ tbsp cream cheese. Garnish with more sliced scallion and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
