Ultimate Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

This lightened up Ultimate Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole has everything: eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, tater tots – the works

Ingredients

  • 20 oz frozen tater tots
  • 1 lb raw 99% lean ground turkey breast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon ground sage
  • ¾ teaspoon ground thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, divided
  • 6 slices center cut bacon
  • 6 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I used Cabot)
  • 12 raw large eggs
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • ¼ cup sliced scallions, optional – I’ve made this with and without and the scallions add freshness, but it’s good either way!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the frozen tater tots into the casserole dish and arrange them into a single layer (you do not need to place them in a certain pattern, there will be some spaces in between, just spread them across the bottom without worry).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, the sage, thyme, marjoram and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper. Stir (or mush with your hands or a fork) until the turkey is well combined with the seasonings. Mist a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and bring to medium heat. Add the seasoned turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the turkey is cooked through and broken into small pieces. Remove the turkey sausage from the skillet and spread them evenly across the top of the tater tots in the casserole dish.
  • Add the bacon to the skillet and bring back to medium heat. Cook the bacon according to package directions until crisp. Remove to a stack of paper towels to drain. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over top of the sausage in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over top of the bacon.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, scallions (if using), remaining ¾ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and the remaining ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Beat the eggs and seasonings with a whisk. When beaten, pour the eggs over top of the cheese layer in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and cut into 8 servings.
