# Instructions:
01 -
Dice 1 large sweet potato, 2 medium bell peppers, and 1 medium yellow onion. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage, breaking it up. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
02 -
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the diced 1 large sweet potato. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes, creating a hearty base for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls.
03 -
Add the diced 2 medium bell peppers and 1 medium yellow onion to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
04 -
Return the cooked 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage to the skillet. Add 4 cups fresh spinach, stirring until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Mix everything well to combine all the savory flavors, ensuring each High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowl is packed with goodness.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked through but still soft, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcook.
06 -
Divide the sweet potato, sausage, and veggie mixture evenly among 4 freezer-safe containers. Top each portion with an equal amount of scrambled 8 large eggs. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over each bowl. These High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls are now ready for storage or immediate enjoyment.
07 -
Allow the High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls to cool completely before covering tightly. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results when freezing, ensure bowls are completely cool before sealing to prevent ice crystals.
02 -
Reheat frozen bowls in the microwave, covered, for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway, until heated through.
03 -
Feel free to swap turkey sausage for chicken sausage or add other veggies like mushrooms or zucchini.
04 -
Serve with a dollop of hot sauce, a side of avocado, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor.
