Breakfast Bake

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

• 1lb ground turkey (454g) or vegan meat alternative 

• 12 whole eggs 

• 1 large yam or 2 small yams (cubed) 

• 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced) 

• 1 cup mushrooms (sliced) 

• 3 cups spinach (chopped) 

• 1 cup yellow onion (chopped) 

• 1.5 cups broccoli (chopped) 

• 4 tbsp olive oil 

• 2 tbsp garlic (chopped) 

• salt & pepper 

• 1/2 cup of your preferred milk 

• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

NOTE: When cooking this recipe, feel free to get creative with the seasonings and the vegetables. I often go for paprika, garlic, onion, and dill (or whatever I have available). When it comes to veggies, use whatever YOU like best and definitely take advantage of the chance to use up what you have in the fridge. Have fun with it!

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F 

• Chop all of your veggies into small bite-sized pieces (other than spinach or any leafy greens) and place them on a parchment paper covered baking sheet

• Coat veggies with 2 tbsp of olive oil and season with any seasonings you like! 

• Cook veggies for 25 minutes in the oven until they begin to soften. Set aside when done. 

• Turn the oven down to 350°F 

• While the veggies are cooking, turn your stove to medium heat

• You’re going to cook your ground turkey or beyond meat in a large frying pan for about 5 - 7 minutes. Season it however you like. Your meat should be cooked until it’s just over half done and then removed from heat

• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, garlic, and salt & pepper

• Coat a 9 x 13 baking dish (2 smaller baking dishes will also work) with the remainder of your olive oil or cover it with parchment paper

• Pour in your veggies, ground meat, chopped spinach, and egg mixture. Stir all ingredients well so that everything is evenly mixed together! 

• Place your baking dish in the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 350°F 

• Remove the Breakfast Bake from heat and allow your bake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving!

• Divide it into 8 portions, and store it in the fridge for the rest of the week.
