Turkey Muffins
I found this recipe on bodybuilding.com and made a couple tweaks. Definitely on the spicy side. These are good to have on hand when you need a quick snack, although they don’t last more than a day or two with my husband around!
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
- 2 tsp. dry yellow mustard
- 2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, grated
- 3 tbls egg whites
- 2 lbs. ground chicken or turkey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together all spices, onion, carrot and oatmeal. Prepare 2 muffin tins with non stick spray and muffin liners (I’ve tried with and without – clean up is much easier if you use the liners!) Add the egg whites and turkey and mix together with your hands. Form into balls slightly larger than a golf ball. Bake for approximately 45 minutes.
Makes approximately 20 “muffins”
