Ground Turkey & Chicken Muffins Recipe

We love these muffins. So versatile: throw into a picnic basket, add to a big salad, make into meatballs for spaghetti, quick grab and go lunch.

I often make these, alternating between using ground turkey and ground chicken. If I am remembering correctly I got the recipe idea from Jamie Eason’s website years ago. There are a lot of variations on the web, but this is my favourite:

• 2 lbs ground chicken or ground turkey

• 1 egg (original recipe uses 3 egg whites, but my family like them with whole eggs)

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 0.5 tsp ground cumin

• 0.5 tsp dried thyme

• 2 tsp ground mustard

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 garlic cloves (original recipe uses 2 tbsp powder, but I like adding fresh cloves)

• 1 small sweet onion

• 2 celery

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix all ingredients together in large bowl. Roll mixture into balls and place in silicon muffin tins. Bake for 40 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
