Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained (1 8.5-oz. jar)
  • 4 cups leftover turkey chopped
  • 12 large eggs
  • 3 ounces feta cheese
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large 9” x 13” casserole dish with cooking oil.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has begun to caramelize, about 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. If you allow the casserole more time to cool (45 minutes or longer) it will slice easier into perfect squares for individual servings.
