Turkey Sausage Breakfast

We got to enjoy this tasty casserole on Christmas morning. I prepped all the ingredients so it would be easier to put together since it does have to bake for an hour. It is a healthier take on the usual sausage and hash browns breakfast because of the turkey sausage and the egg whites. I added a red bell pepper and green chiles to add not only more color but flavor as well. I also chose to brown the hash browns prior to mixing them up with the other ingredients which turned out to be a great choice.

For leftovers, just roll them up in tortillas with a little bit of hot sauce and sliced avocado... yum!
