Mark's Notes -
I did not use black pepper.
I did not use any onions.
I did use broccoli and squash for my vegetables - pre-cut packages from Meijer.
I used turkey meat and I actually use a Mexican cheese.
It turned out really well.
Mark's Story -
I was just looking through the breakfast recipes in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. I saw this. It looked good. I though Trish would like it as well. It turned out so well. I used my Pampered Chef oven safe skillet for this. I will definitely be making this one again.
