This tasty breakfast casserole is loaded with flavor, but uses better-for-you ingredients like turkey sausage, bell peppers and spinach. And despite the addition of melty Italian cheeses and a buttery crescent crust, this satisfying egg bake still clocks in at fewer than 400 calories per serving—so you can have your brunch party and feel good about it, too.
