Turkey Veggie Muffins

Happy Thursday! It feels like heaven here on the island right now; there is an amazing breeze and the windows are open. No AC needed and no miserable high heat/humidity combo. I love this kind of weather! In fact, I love it just as much as I love an easy grab-and-go snack/meal... this is why these Turkey Veggie Muffins are amazing! They're full of protein and healthy carbs. One is great for a snack and three or so (paired with some veggies) is great for a meal. They're so simple to make and so easy to reheat for later.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

1 cup oats

1 egg

1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped

1 celery stalk, peeled and finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Drizzle Dijon mustard

 

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 350* F and grease a 12 cup muffin tin (cooking spray works wonders).

 

In a food processor or by hand, finely chop carrot and celery.

 

 

In a medium size bowl, beat egg and combine all ingredients until well incorporated.

 

Divide mixture among the 12 openings and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.



 

Let cool and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Menu Planner Printable

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend. I don't know about you, but I love lists and you can find them all over my house. I make them all of the time: lists for things I need to accomplish for the day, things I need to pick up from the grocery store, things I need to remember to buy when I leave the island, etc...

 

Now that my summer schedule is in full swing, having a weekly menu planner is very helpful (which is why I made this one). I work a lot of nights each week, which means that cooking dinner can only happen a few times each week. However, this means that I put more effort into what I make for lunch, which is now usually my larger meal of the day.

 

I know that a lot of you are Moms that have full-time jobs and busy schedules, so I hope this printable is useful to you! You can right-click and save it as a picture, or you can download it as a PDF file. If you want to download the file, here it is on Scribd.
