Turkey Sausage, Egg and Cheese Baked Oatmeal
This was my first time ever trying a savory style oatmeal recipe. If you thought oats were boring and bland, prepare to be proved wrong. This baked savory oatmeal with ground turkey, egg and cheese tastes like breakfast hash but in loaf form. It has become one of my all-time favorite breakfasts to make and for good reason.
Equipment
- 1 13x9" Casserole Dish Used for baking the oatmeal.
- 1 Large Pan Used for cooking the ground turkey.
- 2 Mixing Bowls Used for the turkey sausage and combining the oatmeal ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Turkey Sausage
- 500 g Extra Lean Ground Turkey
- 1 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 ½ tbsp Taco Seasoning
- 1 tsp Dried Sage
- 1 tbsp 15g Brown Sugar
For the Baked Oatmeal
- 1 large Bell Pepper diced
- 1 Jalapeño diced
- 1 medium Onion diced
- 1 cup Baby Spinach 50g
- 3 cup Rolled Oats 240g
- ½ cup Oat Flour 60g
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 g Light Marble Cheddar shredded
- 220 g Skyr Yogurt
- 2 cups 2% Milk
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
- In a medium bowl add the ground turkey with all of the seasonings. Mix thoroughly to season the meat throughout.
- In a large pan over medium high heat add ½ of the canola oil, then add in the seasoned turkey meat. Brown it on both sides, chopping it up with a wooden spoon and cook it until no pink color remains. Set aside in a bowl for later.
- Dice the onion, bell pepper and Jalapeño. Add the remaining canola oil to the pan, then add in the diced veggies and baby spinach. Season with salt and cook for a few minutes to soften the veggies. Set aside in the bowl with the turkey sausage, to be used later.
- In a large bowl add the eggs, milk and Skyr yogurt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the oats, oat flour, baking powder, salt, turkey sausage sausage, veggies and shredded cheese. Mix to combine everything.
- Spray a 13x9" pan with oil, add the oatmeal mixture and spread it evenly across the pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until the center is set.
- Once baked, cut into 6 even pieces and add to meal prep containers. When ready to eat, microwave for 1 ½ minutes and eat while warm. Top with hot sauce or chili oil.
