Turkey Sausage & Spinach Frittata
This Turkey Sausage & Spinach Frittata is a creative spin on your typical scrambled egg breakfast. And it’s simple one-pan preparation is perfect!
Being a country boy from Louisiana I learned one thing for sure and that is you can never go wrong with a great breakfast! We would actually eat breakfast at any point throughout the day because we were always certain to have two things in the house – milk, and eggs.
The all-day breakfast restaurants and having access to enjoy eggs and grits 24 hours a day was a norm for me and that’s probably why I love this recipe idea so much. It honestly takes me back to a place where the worries of today didn’t exist and the comforts of having everything you needed were as simple as a few ingredients.
Did you know? The frittata has Italian origin because of the close relation with the omelet and quiche, but this is definitely an enjoyable dish worldwide.
The turkey sausage adds the required saltiness needed while the cream, cheese, and eggs make it hard to stop eating. The garlic spinach and cherry tomatoes add a nice touch as well.
The great thing about this Turkey Sausage & Spinach Frittata is that you can enjoy it any time of day; morning, noon, and night. Your brain will instruct your mouth to yell at this dinner idea with the great words of Austin Powers character Fat Bastard, “Get In My Belly!”.

So good and portions of ingredients are spot on!
Thanks, Joe!
This was great. We needed low carb, gluten free and delicious! I’m not a great cook, so I freaked out when I didn’t see anything listed about what to do with the tomatoes after cutting them. I’d love to know if I was supposed to cook them with the spinach?
Hi Catherine. I see where the cherry tomato step was a bit misleading. I have corrected this. There is no need to cook the tomatoes and they should be added along with the cheddar jack cheese at the end.
So easy and so delicious! Thanks
Very cool! Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. Much appreciated.
Get in my belly is perfect for this one!
Lol thanks a lot Karly!
