Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole

While at the Amish market I purchase some bulk Turkey Sage Sausage. I like that it is turkey, the fat content is lower but the taste is there. One of my family favorite Breakfast is the Egg Casserole. This one is a healthier version of the traditional one I like to make. By using the turkey and Nonfat Half n Half the amount of fat is reduced greatly. If you use the eggbeaters then the Cholesterol will be lowered also. The Key to this recipe is servings. Serving should be six. Serve with a fruit that should fill one up.

Turkey Sausage Breakfast Casserole

1/2 lb bulk Turkey Sage Sausage
1/2 loaf Italian loaf bread (about 2 cups, chopping into pieces)
