This paleo leftover turkey sweet potato frittata will have everyone waking up extra early for! Rise and shine with this savory and creamy paleo, gluten free, grain free, and dairy free breakfast that everyone will love!
I know that I promised in my Slow Cooker White Turkey Chili post earlier this week that I would be dishing up some awesome leftover turkey recipes and today is no exception.
On top of leftover Thanksgiving turkey, I’m also helping you use up leftover sweet potatoes, leftover onions, sage, kale, and other pieces that may not have been completely demolished at your Thanksgiving table.
This is by far my favorite frittata of all time!
I think it has to do with the combination of how cheesy and savory it tastes along with it’s hints of sage and thyme but without the cheese and grease!
That’s right! This cleverly pieced together gem is uber clean and healthy but tastes so far from it.
Alex still doesn’t believe me that there’s no cheese or cream in it. This frittata is that clever.
So if you are ready to make an impressive morning-after-Thanksgiving breakfast in under 30 minutes this paleo leftover turkey sweet potato frittata is the one for you.
Go grab your skillet!
