Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 ounces turkey sausage

  • 16 ounces cauliflower rice (4 cups; see Tip)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon ground pepper

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 8 large eggs

Directions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until translucent. Add sausage; cook, stirring, until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.

  2. Increase heat to medium-high and add cauliflower rice to the pan in an even layer. Cook without stirring until it starts to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Then stir and add salt, pepper, and water. Cover and cook until tender and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the sausage mixture back in and heat through, about 2 minutes.

  3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Break 4 eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes (or up to 5 minutes for firmer yolks). Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining 4 eggs.

  4. Divide the hash among 4 plates and top each with 2 fried eggs.

Tips

Tip: Look for cauliflower rice in the freezer section of your grocery store. To make your own, place 2 cups cauliflower florets at a time in a food processor and pulse until chopped into rice-size pieces. One 2-pound head of cauliflower makes about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
