Super-easy recipe with lots of protein. Very tasty and could even be used as meatballs.

Found it here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/video-jamie-eason-turkey-meatloaf-muffins.htm

*Note* I ended up with a much higher calorie count in the MFP Recipe Builder, probably because I used Lean Ground Turkey and logged all the spices. I suspect Jamie used Extra Lean and didn't log the spices. Your calories will vary based on your specific ingredients. I ended up at 147 per muffin*



Ingredients:

2 lbs ground turkey (or chicken)
3 egg whites
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dry yellow mustard
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp chipotle pepper spice
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder (2 cloves minced)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 celery stalks (finely chopped)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray muffin pan with canola or olive oil.

Mix all your ingredients together in one large bowl.

Roll the mixture into balls and place in muffin pan. Muffins should be about the size of a racquetball.

Bake for 40 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins.

    It should work with chicken. Perhaps a butcher would be willing to grind a cut of turkey for you if you wanted to try it that way?

    Possibly, don't really see to much turkey around here at all except for at christmas, might just be a case of asking at the butchers though.

    I've made these before -- they're pretty good. My only problem is that mine were a bit dry so I swapped out the 3 egg whites for 2 whole eggs (which helped a bit). If you can get your hands on some smoked chipotle pepper spice, I definitely recommend that substitution.

    Also, they pack well (good for lunch on the go) and are very tasty served with sliced tomato!

    I have heard these are really good. Another recipe she has is for protein bars, I really like the pumpkin spice. Very tasty and low cal.

    They were a little dry when I reheated them throughout the week, so I reheated with about a tablespoon of chicken broth.

    I love these. I actually cook extra and freeze them. I used the extra lean ground chicken. All I can find here is the perdue fit and easy. Like 1.5 grams of fat per serving or something like that.

    They were tasty but my stomach did not like them. Can't bring myself to pull the rest of them out of the freezer.

    I had a modified version of these today using yellow squash instead of celery and they were great!

    Oh, I love that substitution! It would make them more moist!
