Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider swapping the turkey sausage with cooked veggies or using a meat alternative. You can also replace the low-fat milk with unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free version. Ensure the pie crust is fully cooled before adding the fillings to prevent sogginess. If you like a bit of heat, add some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
