Ingredients

  • 1 pound turkey sausage crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 30 ounces frozen hash browns thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions optional

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Turkey Sausage

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the turkey sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Cream Cheese and Eggs

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, and milk until smooth and creamy. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to enhance flavor.

Step 4: Combine All Ingredients

  • Fold the thawed hash browns and shredded cheddar cheese into the sausage mixture. Pour the egg and cream cheese mixture over everything and stir gently until fully combined.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

  • Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until set and the top is golden brown. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for fresh flavor and color. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Notes

  • Thaw the hash browns completely to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother casserole texture.
  • Cook sausage thoroughly to ensure safety and optimal texture.
  • Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating; add extra baking time if baking chilled.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
