- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup ground flaxseed see notes below
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning blend

- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar or mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Cook turkey sausages until fully cooked and no longer pink in colour, set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs and cottage cheese.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, ground flax seed, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking to combine.
- Stir in the spinach, cooked sausage and bell pepper and 1 cup of cheese. Pour batter into the baking dish, top with remaining ½ cup of cheese and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the tray comes out clean.

Notes
Ground flaxseed can be replaced with an additional ½ cup of flour or even an alternate seed (e.g. hemp seed or ground chia). All purpose flour can be replaced with gluten free flour or whole wheat baking flour but I do not recommend omitting the flour all together. Turkey sausages can be replaced with any meat or choice or can be omitted.
