Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain fat and set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Add Velveeta cheese, 1 cup muenster cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and butter; stir until melted. Stir in milk. Slowly stir in eggs until blended. Stir in cooked sausage.
Transfer grits to prepared dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining 1 cup shredded muenster cheese.
Bake, uncovered, 40 to 45 minutes.
Notes:
I used Jimmy Dean sausage. Feel free to substitute turkey sausage.
Make sure to use quick-cook grits NOT instant grits.
Can substitute water for the chicken broth.
