Ingredients

1 frozen deep dish pie crust I used Pillsbury
2 eggs
3/4 cup egg whites (180g)
3/4 cup low fat evaporated milk* (180g)
1 tsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 cups fresh spinach (40g)
3/4 cup 60g ground turkey sausage crumbles I used Jimmy Dean
1/2 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/4 cup 2% shredded mozzarella cheese (28g)
2 Tbsp fresh herbs** chopped - you could use parsley, basil or cilantro

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Gently transfer the pie crust to pie dish.
To a large bowl, add the eggs, egg whites, milk, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper (you can add more or less salt and pepper to taste); whisk to combine. Then fold in the spinach, ground turkey sausage, both cheeses, and fresh herbs.
Bake on the lower oven rack for 37 to 45 minutes, or until set along the edges and only slightly jiggly in the center.
Top with more fresh herbs to serve.

Notes

* You can use any milk of choice. Just make sure it is plain and unsweetened (i.e. not vanilla flavored!)

** Highly recommend fresh herbs but you can use 2 tsp dried instead if you don't have any on hand.

Pro tip: transfer pie crust to pie dish directly out of the freezer. The longer it sits out, the easier it will be to break. You do not need to bake pie crust before adding the filling but you can if you wish.
