Instructions

1
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
2
Add the diced turkey sausage to the skillet and cook until it begins to brown.
3
Add the quartered Brussels sprouts and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to get crispy.
4
Add the chopped white onion and red bell pepper to the skillet.
5
Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the sausage is well-browned.
6
While the hash cooks, prepare the eggs. In a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat, crack two eggs.
7
Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
8
Add a splash of water to the egg skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the eggs to steam for 1-2 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
9
Transfer the sausage and vegetable hash to a serving bowl.
10
Carefully place the steamed eggs on top of the hash.
11
Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Don't crowd the pan when cooking Brussels sprouts—let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes to caramelize and crisp before stirring.
Add the water to the skillet after cooking the eggs to create steam that gently sets the whites while keeping yolks runny.
Cook sausage first to render its fat, then use that fat as flavor base for the vegetables instead of relying solely on butter.

Substitutions

Brussels sprouts → broccoli florets or cabbage (same cooking time)
Smoked turkey sausage → chicken sausage or pork sausage (adjust cook time for uncooked varieties)
Red bell pepper → yellow or orange bell pepper (no flavor or texture change)
Sunny-side-up eggs → scrambled or poached eggs (omit water step if scrambling)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat. Eggs are best eaten fresh; add new eggs when reheating if preferred.

Equipment

large skillet (10-12 inch) · knife for dicing sausage and vegetables

Common Questions

How do I get Brussels sprouts crispy in a skillet?

Quarter them and cook cut-side down in hot butter without stirring for 3-4 minutes to develop browning before tossing with the sausage and other vegetables.

Can I cook the eggs differently instead of sunny-side-up?

Yes. Scramble them into the skillet, bake them on top at 375°F for 5 minutes, or fry them over-easy or over-hard and serve on the side.

What type of smoked turkey sausage should I use?

Use pre-cooked smoked turkey sausage from the deli or packaged section; dice it and warm it through. Uncooked turkey sausage will need 8-10 minutes to cook through.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Cook the sausage, Brussels sprouts, and vegetables up to 1 day ahead; reheat gently and add fresh eggs just before serving for best texture.

Is this recipe keto or low-carb friendly?

Yes. It's naturally low-carb with Brussels sprouts, sausage, and eggs as the base. Avoid breaded sausage and check ingredient labels for added sugars.
