A hearty and nutritious twist on classic hash browns, packed with protein from ground turkey sausage, eggs, and cottage cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and dried
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage, cooked and drained
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup chopped green onions or chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until it’s browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess liquid.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Add the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, half of the shredded cheddar, and green onions into the egg mixture. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
  8. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into servings.

Notes

For variations, consider adding sautéed vegetables or using spicy sausage. This dish can be served with Greek yogurt or hot sauce.
