Cut the 14-ounce baguette into pieces using kitchen scissors until you have about 8 cups of bread.

In a large bowl, add the cut bread.

Add cooked ground turkey sausage, bell pepper, and onion to the bowl with the bread and mix well.

Crack eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them together.

Add 2 cups of milk to the eggs and mix until combined.

Shred 12 ounces of cheese using a box grater.

Layer half of the bread and sausage mixture into a sprayed crock-pot.

Add half of the shredded cheese on top of the first layer.

Pour the egg and milk mixture over the layers in the crock-pot, ensuring all bread pieces are submerged.

Add the remaining bread and sausage mixture on top, followed by the rest of the cheese.

Cook the casserole in the crock-pot on high for about 3.5 hours or on low for up to 6 hours.
