Description

This savory sweet potato, turkey sausage egg bake bowl has everything you need — quality protein, healthy fats and fiber. It’s versatile and makes for a delicious meal prep breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 organic, cage-free eggs (prepared to taste)
  • 2–4 oz turkey sausage, nitrate-free (equivalent to 1 sausage patty)
  • 1/2 c cooked sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 2 c greens
  • 1/2 red pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 c red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional: 1-2 tbsp hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium-to-large pan on the stove with 1 tbsp coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil (I prefer coconut oil as it heats well and adds a little sweetness to the sweet potatoes).
  2. Sautè the cubed sweet potatoes in the large pan until they start to golden around the corners. about 10 minutes.
  3. When finished with the sweet potatoes, in the same pan brown the turkey sausage (ground or patty that you can divide into smaller pieces). Note: if you don’t have turkey sausage you can always use 4 oz. ground turkey and season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Once the turkey sausage is browned, in the same pan sautè the red pepper, red onion and greens. sautè for 2-3 minutes.
  5. The final step is to fry an 1-2 eggs over the stove. i like to cook my eggs in 1 tbsp coconut oil, over easy, but you can prepare your egg(s) to your personal preference.
  6. Place all ingredients into a bowl — greens, veggies, sweet potato and turkey sausage and top with egg(s). Add salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce and enjoy!

Notes

*Gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut-free.
**If you don’t have turkey sausage you can always just season ground turkey.
***I like to prep a large batch of cubed sweet potatoes and turkey sausage at the beginning of the week. That way if i’m in a time pinch all I need to do is sauté the greens, peppers and onions and fry an egg while I re-heat the cubed sweet potatoes and turkey sausage. Just like that you can turn this 20-to-30 minute meal into a 5-to-10 minute meal.

I use Caraway Cookware for this recipe (the egg bake doesn’t stick to these pans!)

Savory Sweet Potato, Turkey Sausage Egg Bake Bowl

This protein packed egg bowl is a favorite for back-to-school season. All you need is:

  • Eggs
  • Turkey sausage
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Green
  • Red pepper
  • Rep onion
  • Avocado

To make this a quick breakfast I prep a large batch of cubed sweet potatoes and turkey sausage at the beginning of the week. That way if I’m short on time all I need to do is sauté the greens, peppers and onions and fry an egg while I re-heat the cubed sweet potatoes and turkey sausage.

    • Hi Tessa! Great question, turkey sausage is one of those items I do buy at Whole Foods, I really like the ‘Legacy’ brand! It’s my personal favorite. But what’s really important is making sure there are no nitrates in your turkey! I hope that helps! xo-Lindsey

    • Yes! Me too Cassie! I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes or butternut squash with my eggs; this is the perfect savory breakfast combo {although I often eat it for lunch and dinner too}! Enjoy!

  3. Both the bake and the bowl look awesome! I think both recipes would work really well for busy people who are trying to make 1 big recipe and to re-use throughout the week. I could see myself making 3 or so bowls on Sunday for breakfasts throughout the week. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

    • Yes they are delicious, savory and satisfying and my favorite part is they’re not just for breakfast but for anytime of day! I love including egg bakes in my meal prep, so easy to have on hand throughout the week! I hope you enjoy this power bowl as much as I do!

  4. YUM!! These both look amazing! I just love how you only used 8 ingredients (I’m all about that) and made such lovely meals. Also, that’s so great that this could be breakfast, lunch or dinner! I love sweet potatoes! Thanks for the recipe love!
    xoxo Cailee!

    • Cailee! Right 8 ingredients for 2 recipes, go grocery shopping once and get a full week of breakfast and/or lunch/dinner! Recipes under 10 ingredient are my jam! Hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do (hands in the air for sweet potato love)! xo-Lindsey
