Smoked Turkey Sausage Breakfast Skillet
Smoked turkey sausage is browned in a cast-iron skillet with mushrooms and green onions, then topped with a whisked egg mixture of cheddar, spinach, salt, and pepper. The skillet goes into a 400°F oven until the eggs are set, then it's sliced and served. It's a hearty, protein-rich, one-pan breakfast for two.
