Ingredients:

  • 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lb lean turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 large whole eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed hash browns, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Sauté the potatoes for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden, crispy exterior.
  4. Press the sautéed potatoes firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust.
  5. Scatter the cooked turkey sausage evenly over the potato crust.
  6. Layer the diced onions and bell peppers on top of the meat.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
  8. In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole eggs, liquid egg whites, skim milk, salt, and black pepper until frothy.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
  10. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden-brown.
