Recipe makes x 12 muffins

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Recipe Ingredients

  • 375g turkey breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked thoroughly

  • 5 eggs

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 1 cup 1% cottage cheese

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • a pinch of salt

  • 2 cups of your favourite vegetables (I used shredded zucchini which I sprinkled with salt and allowed to sit for about 15 minutes, then squeezed out the extra moisture)

  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Recipe Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine your eggs, milk, cottage cheese and maple syrup. 

  2. Add your flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until almost combined. 

  3. Add the turkey, raw vegetables and shredded cheese, then mix until evenly combined. 

  4. Prepare your muffin tin with cooking spray. Add about ¼ cup of mixture into each spot until your mixture is evenly distrubuted.

  5. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

  6. Store in freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, microwave for about 1.5 minutes (from frozen) or 30 seconds (if defrosted). Enjoy!
