Are you a savory or sweet breakfast person? I’m actually a little both. Some days I want all savory, and some days a yogurt parfait sounds delicious. I used to be strictly sweet, but over the years I’ve slowly converted to a little of both. Whenever we go out for breakfast, I usually get some sort of dish that includes both (aka a waffle on the side of my savory dish). I love to meal prep this Veggie, Turkey Sausage, and Basil Frittata and reheat it for breakfast throughout the week. The last time I made it, I may have eaten it for breakfast and lunch multiple days.
Ingredients You’ll Need for this Recipe:
- onion
- zucchini
- red bell pepper

Tips for Recipe

- You can swap avocado oil with olive oil if you’d like.
- I like to use Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles, but feel free to swap with a cooked turkey sausage of your choice.
- It’s important not to stir the eggs so that they can cook evenly and set.
- Be sure to watch carefully while it’s under the broiler to avoid burning.
Can this recipe be frozen?
- Yes! You can place your slices into a freezer safe container and place in the freezer. Reheat as needed.
Can this recipe be made into egg muffins?
- Yes! I would recommend placing sauteed vegetables to a mixing bowl and combining with beaten eggs. Add to a muffin tin sprayed with nonstick spray. I recommend baking in a 350° oven until set.
