High Protein Keto Turkey and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole
Start your day right with this easy protein-packed breakfast casserole. It is cheesy, satiating, and absolutely delicious. Filled with turkey meat, veggies, eggs, and cheese, this meal provides all the micro and macronutrients you need to kick off your morning, making it perfect for a high-protein Keto diet.
Can you prepare this high-protein Keto recipe in advance?
Yes, you can. The great thing about this turkey and broccoli casserole is that it can be prepared ahead of time and cooked on the spot. Prepare all the ingredients in a bowl, except for the eggs, and keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days. When you’re ready to bake the casserole, add the eggs, sprinkle the cheese, and cook it for 35-40 minutes.
Is this high-protein Keto breakfast suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely! Many of us have no time to prepare our breakfast and often opt for processed breakfast bars or cereal. This Keto breakfast casserole ensures that you get a nutritious, high-protein meal first thing in the morning. Simply prepare a batch or two of this recipe, and store each serving in one microwave-safe container. Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days, and microwave one portion whenever it’s breakfast time.
Can you swap the ground turkey for another meat?
Absolutely! You can replace it with ground beef, ground chicken, or breakfast sausage. You can also use bacon by crisping it up in a pan before adding it to the other casserole ingredients. For a vegetarian option, finely chop some mushrooms or firm tofu, sauté in a pan, then add them to the casserole.
Can you replace the broccoli with another vegetable?
Yes, you can. Sneaking in some tasty veggies into this casserole is an excellent way to add some fiber and nutrients to your Keto diet. You can substitute broccoli with your preferred vegetable; some great options include cauliflower, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, kale, and spinach.

This recipe was really flavorful, although next time I'll use a smaller amount of salt, and crushed pepper.

I found this to be a very good way to break my fast, so tasty, I did omit the cream cheese only because I was so ready to eat it when it was time I forgot to add a dollop on top lol!

What temp and time would you use to cook this in an air fryer?

Hey @josie0695, we have used a medium sized 15x25 cm casserole dish, but anything slightly larger or smaller would work too.
