Ingredients
10 eggs
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Jennie-O sausage
½ cup minced red onion (about ½ medium onion)

3. In a skillet, cook turkey sausage over medium-high heat until browned.
4. Add red onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes to soften.
5. Stir in spinach until wilted, then remove from heat.
6. If using zucchini or tomatoes, add them raw to the egg mixture.
7. Combine the egg mixture with the sausage mixture. Add basil and cheese, stirring to mix.
8. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, filling ¾ full.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until muffins are puffed and set.

Notes
This recipe makes about 12 muffins depending on egg size.
If extra mixture remains, bake in a small greased ramekin.
Baking time varies slightly based on how warm the sausage mixture is when combined with the eggs.
These muffins are rich in protein and can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
To reheat, microwave for 30–40 seconds or bake at 325°F for 10 minutes.
