Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the casserole.
Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy to create a smooth base.
Add Ingredients: Stir in the diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions), cooked and crumbled turkey sausage, shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then pour the combined mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top develops a light golden brown color.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 or 9 servings. Serve warm for a satisfying breakfast.
