Ingredients
- 4 microwave-safe pint-sized jars with lids
- 8 ounces turkey sausage

- 1/4 cup bell pepper
- 1/4 cup onion

- 1/4 cup mushrooms

- 8 large eggs
Preparation
- In a small skillet cook the turkey sausage until browned. Chop into crumbles while cooking.
- Prepare the jars by spraying the insides with cooking spray.
- Dice the bell pepper, onion, broccoli and mushrooms. In a small bowl combine the chopped vegetables. Slice the jalapeno pepper.

- Cover and store the jars for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

- Carefully remove the jar from the microwave and enjoy.
Helpful hints
• The jars can be frozen. Transfer from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before you plan to add eggs and cook.
• Mix and match other lower potassium vegetables such as asparagus, green onion, kale or zucchini.
• Select a natural low-sodium cheese like cheddar or Swiss. If using a higher sodium cheese like parmesan or feta reduce the amount to 1/2 tablespoon
•Choose from pork, chicken or turkey sausage without phosphorus additives. Be aware some reduced-sodium breakfast meats are quite high in potassium due to potassium additives. Some sausages are not gluten-free. Read ingredients if you need a gluten-free diet.
• For an additive-free, lower sodium, gluten-free sausage try Homemade Turkey Sausage or Homemade Pan Sausage from recipes on DaVita.com.
