Recipe Question

I'm planning to make a breakfast casserole for mother's day. I had planned to substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage, but will it turn out the same if I use egg beaters instead of regular eggs? Anyone tried it or have recipes for healthier breakfast casseroles? Thank you!

It should come out ok- not as moist as if you used eggs. You might want to go half and half. Happy Mother's day!

I don't like egg beaters myself so my suggestion would be to use half eggs and half whites. I make a breakfast casserole myself and I use the jimmy dean (light) sausage which is excellent. I haven't compared the calories to turkey sausage but the flavor of the JD is excellent and you'd never know it's light. I normally use 8 eggs but I only use 4 yolks. My recipe calls for seasoned croutons and shredded cheese so that is where the calories increase. The lower cal cheese really doesn't make much of a taste difference after it's baked but I haven't found a solution to the croutons or bread yet. Bummer! it's my favorite brunch dish.

You might look at Eggface's breakfast bites. They're basically a breakfast casserole in miniature form and don't use any bread/croutons.

Melissa mentioned the website "theworldaccordingtoeggface" check out her recipe for triple berry baked pancake also. I make it in a pie pan and divide it into 6 slices, it is really good. Have also used peaches, apples and just strawberries-top with alittle SF syrup-YUMMMM

I have seen egg beaters that comes as egg whites with some egg yolks.

Get the spicy Italian Turkey sausage from Butterball.

Go ahead and use real eggs. They've gotten a bad rap over the years. You might want to read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by Dr. Malcom Kendricks.
