  • 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

  3. 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).
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach until combined.
  7. Chop the cooked turkey breakfast sausage into 1/2 inch pieces and stir into the sweet potato mixture.
  8. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and yogurt.
  9. 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.

    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!
