Sauté or bake the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and turkey sausage patties.
Let ingredients cool slightly.
Coat your muffin tin with coconut oil or coconut oil cooking spray.
Fill the bottom of each muffin cup with sautéd sweet potato cubes (just add a couple per muffin to cover the bottom – you can mash them together a bit).
Then add sautéd and diced Brussels sprouts and turkey sausage to fill each muffin tin.
Option to sprinkle with fresh rosemary to taste.
Finally, fill each tin with either ½-1 beaten whole egg or egg whites.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until slight browning around muffin top and edges.
Notes
*Makes 12 muffins. A serving is 2-3 muffins. **Store leftovers in the fridge or portion out 2-3 muffins per container or baggie and freeze so you can grab and go (let them thaw overnight). ***I prefer to sauté the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and turkey sausage in a large pan on the stove with fresh rosemary (for approx 10 min until they start to get golden around the edges).
