Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup ground turkey, cooked
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Turkey Pizza Egg Muffins cook evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
- Gather all your ingredients: 6 large eggs, 1 cup of cooked ground turkey, 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This will create a uniform mixture for your muffins.
- Add the 1/2 cup of pizza sauce to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the eggs.
- Next, fold in the 1 cup of cooked ground turkey. Make sure the turkey is evenly mixed into the egg and sauce mixture.
- Sprinkle in the 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture again to ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lightly oiling it to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising during baking.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each muffin cup. This will create a delicious cheesy topping as they bake.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges of each muffin before carefully removing them from the tin.
- Serve your Turkey Pizza Egg Muffins warm, or allow them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious muffins!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time during busy mornings, consider prepping your ingredients the night before. Chop your turkey and measure out your sauce, cheese, and seasonings so you can whip these muffins up in no time!
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings! Bell peppers, olives, or even pepperoni can be mixed into the egg mixture for an extra flavor kick.
- Don’t Overfill: When pouring the egg mixture into the muffin tin, fill each cup only about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. They should be set in the center and lightly golden on top—if you have a toothpick handy, it should come out clean when inserted.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store your Turkey Pizza Egg Muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well, making them a great option for quick meals later on!
