I wanted to help adapt this recipe to be vegetarian for anyone who may want to make it because it looks really good:
Instead of the
Turkey Kielbasa you can use Tofurky Sausages (the sundried tomato kind would be great in this recipe!).
Instead of the
Worcestershire sauce, you could use "Wizard's Organic Wheat Free Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce".

Fritatta with Leeks, Turkey Kielbasa, and Goat Cheese
5 oz leeks (about 1 large leek, white part only)
3 oz diced red pepper (about 1/2 cup)
8 oz turkey kielbasa
6 oz lite goat cheese, crumbled
4 eggs
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp each basil, oregano, and/or thyme
1/2 tsp salt
Spray a 9-in pie pan or 8-in square casserole with cooking spray and wipe off excess. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Saute leeks, red pepper, and turkey kielbasa over medium high heat until leeks and red pepper are just tender (there will be just enough fat in the kielbasa that you don't need to add oil or cooking spray). Pour into prepared pie pan. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.
In medium bowl, beat together eggs, evaporated milk, mustard, worcestershire sauce, spices, and salt. Pour over vegetables and cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until center is just set. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes, then cut into wedges.

(Assuming you use light goat cheese/chevre that is 35 calories per oz and turkey kielbasa that is 45 calories per oz. If you use regular goat cheese that is 80 calories per oz, it is 320 calories per serving. But if you can find the light chevre--I get mine at Trader Joe's--I recommend using it. You can't taste the difference between it and regular goat cheese).
