Turkey Sausage and Pepper Frittata

-->

Olive oil
2 links hot Italian turkey sausage, removed from the casings and crumbled
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
8 eggs

¼ cup reduced fat milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Coat a nonstick 10-inch sauté pan with olive oil. Add the sausage and brown, about 3 minutes. Drain the fat off in a colander and set sausage aside.

Add the peppers and onion to the pan, lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sauté until they are soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.  Once cooked, add the sausage back into the pan and stir together.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, milk and cheese and lightly season with freshly ground black pepper.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the sausage, peppers and onions and stir the eggs to evenly distribute the sausage and peppers throughout the eggs. Cook 3 minutes, without stirring, until egg mixture begins to set around the edge of the pan. Once the eggs set on the bottom and around the sides of the pan, place the pan in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.

Cut into wedges and enjoy!
