Ingredients

  • 375 g package of Lilydale Turkey Breakfast Sausages
  • 3 cups grated sweet potato about 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh sage minced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded old cheddar cheese
  • To serve: avocado arugula or hot sauce

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375F.

  • Grease your muffin tins well with a nonstick cooking spray and set aside and while the sausages are cooking prep the other ingredients (sweet potato, sage, spinach).
  • Once the turkey breakfast sausages are done cooking, remove from the frying pan and wipe out most of the pan, leaving a little bit of oil in the pan (if there isn’t much oil in the pan, add a 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan).
  • Turn the frying pan back on to medium heat and add in oil. Then, add in the shredded sweet potato, salt, pepper and sage, sautéing for about 5 minutes and stirring constantly until the sweet potato has softened.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach until combined.
  • Chop the cooked turkey breakfast sausage into 1/2 inch pieces and stir into the sweet potato mixture.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and yogurt.
  • Distribute the sweet potato-turkey breakfast sausage-sage mixture equally between each muffin cup. Then evenly pour egg mixture into each muffin cup and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each muffin.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes, until eggs are set. Then let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

    I love egg muffins for a quick breakfast or even a workday lunch. I just pair one with an English muffin and some avocado, and I’m set. The addition of the turkey sausage is a great idea. I’ve had that brand before, but never thought to add them to my egg muffins! Definitely need to try it!

    These egg muffins look scrumptious! Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. I love your
    use of sweet potatoes too, balancing the saltiness of breakfast sausages. Thanks for sharing!
