Egg Muffins
Recipe by Chelle Stafford
This recipe is super easy to put together, and can be made ahead for weekly breakfasts. I bake them up on Sunday. My best friend, and the world's greatest personal trainer, Tab, taught me how to make these... you can easily vary the ingredients to suit your tastes & needs.
The Recipe. (makes 36)
Egg Beaters - 32 oz carton (or use egg whites only)
1.25 lb ground turkey extra lean (one package), browned & seasoned (I use Mrs Dash, Garlic & Herb or Fiesta Lime) in 1 Tblsp of Coconut oil.

1/4 cup 2% cheddar cheese, shredded (to sprinkle over top, if your diet allows)
Preheat oven to 350° Grease (I use coconut oil spray) muffin tins. (Or use muffin liners).
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. And fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Sprinkle with cheddar if desired.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until knife comes out clean. Allow to cool. Muffins will "deflate" as they cool.
Place muffins in baggies and toss in fridge. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds (1 min. for 4 muffins).

Substitutions... Tab's original recipe used Eggs & Canadian Bacon. You can add or remove veggies, or meats or seasonings as you like. You can add more Egg Beaters if you prefer a more egg-y muffin.
