These Breakfast Poppers with Turkey, Cheese and Peppers, makes a quick grab and go breakfast or snack. They also freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave, air fryer or oven. Pretty simple recipe!
To make these I used sweet italian turkey sausage links (Shady Brook brand) comes 6 in a pack, veggies, cheese and eggs. You can use any veggies you want. In this Breakfast Poppers with Turkey, Cheese and Peppers recipe I use red bell pepper as my veggie but mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower etc are all good options.

Can I make these in the Air Fryer?
Of Course you can! These poppers can be made in the Air Fryer on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. This is my favorite way to make them. They can also be made in the oven which requires a bit longer baking time, about 20 minutes on 375 degrees Fahrenheit or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
How can I Make these even lower in smart-points?
These are 4 smart points on green plan per 3 poppers and 3 smart points on blue and purple plans per 3 poppers. If you would like to lower the smart-points I suggest adding more veggies to make them bulkier. You can also add zero point foods such as cooked quinoa on purple plan. Any other ideas feel free to leave a comment and let me know, I am always open to suggestions!
