Jamie Eason's Turkey Meatloaf Muffins

Last night, I made Jamie Eason's Turkey Meatloaf Muffins from one of her cooking videos on Bodybuilding.com.

The ingredients:

2 lbs ground turkey (I went with 93% lean)
3 egg whites
1 cup quick oats
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp chipotle pepper spice
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 onion chopped
1 celery stalk chopped (I did not use this, had no celery on hand)

The directions:

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg whites, turkey meat and onion.

Without over working the meat, mix all of the ingredients together.

Roll into balls the size of racquetballs. Place them into a greased muffin pan.

Yields 12.

I really liked these. I was unsure how to serve them so I treated them more like meatballs vs. meatloaf. I served along side spaghetti squash with minced garlic, black pepper and fresh Parmesan, 2 oz of fresh mozzarella cheese with black pepper, and I topped each muffin with a dollop of spaghetti sauce (all natural, less than 5 grams of sugar per serving!)

I really enjoyed this meal. The nice thing about these turkey muffins is that they are easy to grab and go and eat on the run. Each muffin contains 80 calories, 2 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbs, and 11 grams of protein. I enjoyed 2 and 1/2 of them with my dinner. My daughter, Elliana, really liked the "turkey cupcakes" too.
