Turkey Muffins

No these are not for dessert!!  I have run across quite a few meat muffin recipes and this is what I put together. I wanted something that would work for Italian and Mexican dishes.  I wanted to be able to grab these muffins re-heat and eat.  This was my first batch and I think they turned out great.  I ate the first one with a little mustard and sriracha sauce as a snack.  Yummy!!  I am planning to use these in two days for dinner with whole wheat noodles and homemade spaghetti sauce. I had some ground beef that needed to be used up so I mixed meats.  You could use all turkey or mix with pork.  Just use whatever you have around.

Turkey Muffins
1 lb ground lean turkey
3/4 pound ground beef 90%
1 cup quick oats
3 egg whites
2 tsp. each dry mustard, black pepper
1/2 tsp. each salt, cumin, thyme
2 tbsp garlic powder

Mix together.  Spray muffin tins.  Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.  This made 13 muffins.

Could also add chopped onion and celery.
