I LOVE Quiche, but, often do not LOVE the calories and fat in traditional quiches. This recipe takes away the crust and butter, but, replaces it with flavor and a little spicy HEAT. I used Jennie-O turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties, however, there are other versions that are lower in fat.
If I was to make this again, I would use my Homemade Turkey Sausage that is leaner and tastes even better.

mm I feel like Bill would love this. I’m not sure what turkey sausage is – do they come in a box in patties?
Hi Tosha,
Yes, you can find them in the fresh meat section as patties or links. You could also use crumbled morning star patties and soyrizo…I bet he wouldn’t even notice the difference
Good luck!
