- 1½ tablespoons Italian-style bread crumbs
- 12 ounces Italian turkey sausage (casings removed)
- 2 tablespoons onion (chopped)
- ¼ cup green pepper (diced)
- ¼ cup red pepper (diced)
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 4 large eggs or 1 cup egg substitute (lightly beaten)
- 1 cup 2% milk
- ¼ teaspoon garlic pepper or freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the bread crumbs into the bottom of the pie plate.
In a large skillet, cook the crumbled turkey sausage and onions over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes. Once the meat is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Add the sausage and onions to the pie plate, distributing evenly.
Sprinkle the pie plate with the green pepper, red pepper, and cheese.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and pepper, then pour into the pie plate.
Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is beginning to brown in spots.
Remove from the oven and set the pie plate on a wire rack. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
This recipe is for 8 servings. If you cut the quiche into 8 slices, each serving will be 1 slice.
For a gluten-free recipe, use gluten-free bread crumbs and turkey sausage.
To reduce the fat and cholesterol, use 1 cup egg substitute instead of the whole eggs.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
