Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients and utensils, including a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Chop the sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes. Dice the onion and green pepper, and mince the garlic. Lightly grease your casserole dish.
- Heat about a tablespoon of avocado oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, onion, and green pepper, sautéing for 8-9 minutes until tender. Stir in the minced garlic for an additional minute.
- Remove vegetables from heat. In the same Dutch oven, add the turkey sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned.
- Transfer the sausage to the casserole dish along with the sautéed vegetables. Mix them together to create an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, thyme, salt, pepper, and half of the shredded cheese until well-blended.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the casserole dish, gently stirring to distribute the egg evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the center is firm and the top is golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes
For best results, ensure sweet potatoes are cut evenly for even cooking. Drain excess liquid during cooking to maintain texture.
