One of the things that I have learned from my friends at Go Fit Gals is to prepare your food in advance of a busy work week. I love their philosophy of “Eat Clean, Train Dirty” and so this morning I decided to start working the plan (again !).
Last night I thawed some ground turkey and first this morning made a batch of their turkey muffins. Of course I had my cappuccino first!!! So with coffee in hand I whipped up these yummy muffins and yes….. ate 2 for breakfast.
As with all my recipes, I find a way to adapt them to my liking (sorry Risse !) Since I didn’t have any salsa in the fridge, I added one jalapeno and a 1/3 of a cup of onion to the recipe instead. Also, I used the amazing Chop ‘N Prep Chef from Tupperware to mince my onion and pepper in no time at all.
Also, I varied the quantities somewhat because who can ever find exactly 2 lbs of packaged ground turkey? So play with it a bit, I used 1 1/4 lb of turkey because I buy Jennie-O brand from my favourite grocery store in Point Roberts, Washington and that’s the size it comes in. So don’t go overboard but anywhere from 1 1/4 lb of turkey to 2 lbs will work, but you will need to increase the egg whites to 1/2 cup at the high end so that the muffins are not too dry. A 1/2 cup of salsa will help too but is not necessary if you are using the onion and jalapeno pepper.
These muffins freeze well and 2 muffins with your favorite salad means you will be eating clean!
