Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bake

Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bake

I’ve been searching for breakfast recipes which are low in carbs but still filling, packed with vitamins and fill me up until lunch. Busy days at the law firm usually prevent me from having a morning snack, so it’s important my breakfasts are hearty enough to prevent me from being famished by lunch time, but also balanced and healthy. I love the flavor of turkey sausage, but so many are loaded with ingredients you can’t pronounce and are not good for you. So, I’ve created this version using lean ground turkey and adding spices which gives you all the flavor and none of the additives of store bought sausage. This paleo-friendly breakfast bake is loaded with fiber, protein and lots of flavor. It’s my favorite, guilt-free breakfast. Bon Appetit!
