Let’s talk about the ingredients in this low carb ground turkey broccoli egg bake!
I used 93% lean ground turkey for my egg bake. It’s my favorite! You could use an 85% mixture if you’d like or could even substitute ground beef or pork. If you have excess grease, you’ll want to drain it after cooking your meat. To our meat, we add green and red peppers, onions, salt, and pepper. You can use any color or color combination of bell peppers for your egg bake. I used fresh chopped broccoli, but frozen broccoli would work great too. Just make sure to drain the liquid from it after cooking so your dish doesn’t turn out watery. We then add eggs, heavy whipping cream, and dry mustard. If you’d like, you could substitute a teaspoon or so of your favorite mustard in place of the dry mustard. For the cheese I used cheddar, but any good melting cheese would work great for this dish.
Should I shred my own cheese?
I highly recommend you shred your own cheese for a few reasons. First, pre-shredded cheeses contain added ingredients such as cellulose and potato starch. When you shred your own, you can be assured the only ingredient is…cheese!🧀Second, the texture of the cheese you shred yourself is amazingly soft compared to pre-shredded cheese. Last, your shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese and it tastes so much better!
How can I serve this low carb ground turkey broccoli egg bake?
This is a filling dish and can be served as a stand-alone dish. If you’d like, you could serve this with some sliced avocados or tomatoes, or could top it with some guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. You can also serve this egg bake with some keto bread, biscuits, or English muffins. For an amazing brunch option, you could add a nice green salad or keto soup to swerve alongside this dish.
