Ingredients

1 tbsp evoo
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 red onion diced
1/2 c green bell pepper diced
1/2 c red bell pepper diced
1 lb turkey sausage
12 eggs
1 c low fat sour cream
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" casserole dish or large deep pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat oil in a skillet. Cook onions and garlic until onions start to get translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Add bell peppers and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside in a separate dish.
Cook the ground turkey sausage in the skillet you used for the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Once cooked all the way through, remove from heat and drain. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Use a whisk to make sure everything is mixed really well. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the vegetables and turkey sausage to the bowl and mix until everything is coated with the eggs and well mixed.
Transfer to your casserole dish.
Cook for 40-50 minutes, until center is set. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
Let cool then serve. You can make this ahead and store for easy meal planning.

Notes

Serving size = 1/8th of casserole

To reduce the blue, use just one cup of cheese. That would make the blue container only 1/2 blue, so you could have two servings! :)

21 Day Fix Container Counts (Trying something different these time - these container counts aren't super pretty, but I wanted to let you decide if you should round up or down when tracking - I round to the nearest 1/4):

1.375 red (I would call this 1 1/2 red)
.19 green (I'd call it 1/4)
.75 blue (3/4)
.375 tsp (I'd call it 1/2)

Weight Watchers Points

This is 8 points as-is. But you can get it down to 5 points per serving with the following modifications:

Reduce the cheese to 1 cup
Reduce the sour cream to 1/2 cup
Use half of the turkey sausage
