Notes

  • Make sure to use Whole30 compliant breakfast sausage! If you prefer, you can make your own by using one pound of ground turkey or pork, seasoned with:
    • 1 teaspoon dried sage
    • 3/4 teaspoons salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 pinch ground cloves
  • If you prefer to use bacon, leave out the breakfast sausage and use 12-16 ounces of bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Make sure to use Whole30 compliant bacon!
