Lean Turkey Muffins

2 Replies
By themselves as a snack or appetizer, or included as part of a lunch or dinner meal, lean turkey muffins are like a turkey meatloaf in muffin form. I make Jamie Eason’s turkey meatballs all the time and wanted to share the recipe with you. Cooking them in a muffin pan is a easy way to prepare lean protein in bulk because muffins are a ready to go part of a healthy meal. The muffin size also helps with portion control!

    I made these today, and was very pleased with the outcome. I served them with rice and veggies and a side salad. The flavor was really nice. I think the Chipotle seasoning was key. I added just a little more to suite my taste. This was a little like making a meatloaf. Making them into individual muffins is really great idea for portion control. I can’t believe they only have 121 calories per muffin!
