Turkey Sausage Mini Frittatas Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 12 mini frittatas)

  • 8 oz ground turkey sausage (lean) – ~6 points
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, finely diced (any color) – 0 points
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped – 0 points
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced – 0 points
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese – 3 points
  • 6 large eggs – 0 points on Weight Watchers (or use 4 eggs + 4 egg whites to reduce points)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste – 0 points
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray – 0 points

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Cook the turkey sausage: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed and set aside.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, spinach, and onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
  4. Mix the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs (or egg mixture) with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble the frittatas:
    • Divide the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables evenly among the muffin cups.
    • Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling to about 3/4 full.
    • Top each cup with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the tops are slightly golden.
  7. Serve: Allow the frittatas to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
