10 cups cubed sweet potatoes

2 pounds turkey sausage (mild or spicy)
20 eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1½ teaspoons smoked paprika (twist #1)

Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large 9×13 or two medium baking dishes.
Cook the Veggies & Sausage
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and sweet potatoes and cook another 7–10 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to baking dish(es).
Brown the Sausage
In the same skillet, cook turkey sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat and add sausage to the veggie mixture.
Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour evenly over the sausage and veggie mixture.
Top & Bake
Sprinkle with mozzarella and feta or goat cheese. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is golden.
Garnish & Serve
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes.
