Healthy Hash Brown Casserole – Recipe enthusiasts

Breakfast can be one of the most overwhelming meals to make because we’re typically in a rush in the morning. If you want something delicious but easy that will actually save time, try this Healthy Hash Brown Casserole. It can easily be made the night before so that it’s ready to go in the morning when you’re ready to get out of the door. Meal prep it on Sunday, and you’ll have a tasty breakfast for the week. 

The highlight of this casserole is the sage turkey. Adding sage and oregano to ground turkey makes it taste like sausage. So you will have a healthy hash brown casserole that tastes like it’s full of bacon and sausage. Breakfast doesn’t get better than that! This casserole also takes advantage of eggs being a zero point food. I used 10 whole eggs for this recipe, and each serving is still only 5 weight watchers points. You’ll be satisfied for hours with all of this healthy, lean protein filling you up.

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe! 

It’s a high protein, low carb meal.

High protein and low carb casseroles are pretty nonexistent. Casseroles are usually filled with carbs and high calorie fat (which is why they taste so good). But, with plenty of herbs and spices, this casserole is full of flavor, lean ground turkey, and tasty hash browns. 

Minimal cooking is involved.

There isn’t a lot of chopping, prep, or cooking in this recipe. The only thing you have to cook is the meat (ground turkey and bacon). Throw the rest in the casserole dish and let the oven do the work. Frozen hash browns come in really handy. 

It’s great for a crowd or for a Saturday morning brunch. 

Healthy Hash Brown Casserole is easy to whip up, so if you have overnight guests, you can wow them with this healthy dish. Serve it alongside of a large bowl of fruit and you’ve got an easy, healthy spread for them to enjoy. 

Ingredients you need to make Healthy Hash Brown Casserole: 

• 1 lb fat free ground turkey
• Dash of salt and pepper
• 2 tsp sage
• 1 tsp oregano
• 3 cups frozen hash browns 
• 6 slices Oscar Mayer center cut bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled

How to make Healthy Hash Brown Casserole (step by step): 

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a 9×13 casserole dish with some nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a pan on the stove, cook the ground turkey, and add in the salt, pepper, sage, and oregano. You can cook the bacon at the same time in a different pan if you haven’t already done so. Drain the turkey and place it in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add in the frozen hash browns and crumbled bacon and mix well.
4. Place the turkey and potato mixture into your casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. 
5. In a bowl or Pyrex measuring cup, whisk the eggs and milk together. Add in a dash of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the turkey and potato mixture. Top with diced green onion and I added a pinch of dried oregano on top.
6. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes then cut into 6 equal servings. Each serving weighs 8-9oz. Enjoy!

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• You don’t have to add the diced green onions, but they add a good pop of flavor. Other options are more chopped fresh oregano or even parsley. 
• Try using other meats if you’re not a fan of ground turkey. Ground chicken, extra lean ground beef, or even shredded rotisserie chicken would work. Just make sure to keep the sage and oregano- that gives a lot of flavor to this casserole.
