Last night I made some turkey muffins for the first time. I googled recipes but ended up kind of doing my own thing (they are all pretty similar). They turned out yummy- and best of all, they are healthy, and will help me get all my protein in for the day- which isn't easy. Plus, I get bored...so have to put a little effort in to make new recipes. So here's how I made them:
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 eggs (I used the whole egg, but you can use 3 whites if you're on a stricter diet).
1 Cup of croutons, crushed. Any flavor crouton will be good. Some recipes use oats instead.
Chopped yellow onion- I used about 1/4 of a large onion....but use as much or as little as you like.
Chopped green pepper- I used half a pepper... but use as much or as little as you like.
Chopped mushrooms- I probably used about 3/4 cup- but same thing, use what you like.
Garlic salt
Mrs Dash- original flavor
Pepper
*You can use any seasonings you like. I thought about using Italian seasonings or cajun salt for some spice, but kept it pretty simple.
*I'm thinking provolone or swiss cheese would be really good if you put it inside the turkey ball... but I wanted to keep these healthier.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Roll into balls and place in a cupcake pan that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake for 40-45 mins at 375 degrees. *The turkey balls don't really expand when baking, so you can make them larger to fit the cupcake inserts.
Jamie Eason has a good recipe online too. My recipe is similar to hers.
Enjoy!
