Description
Protein packed turkey sausage breakfast muffins with eggs and cheddar. An easy make ahead breakfast ready in 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baking mix
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 quarter teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage for 7 to 9 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully browned and no longer pink. The sausage should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit as measured with a food thermometer. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and black pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and baking mix until evenly incorporated. Fold in the cooked turkey sausage.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Allow the cooked sausage to cool slightly before mixing to prevent the eggs from beginning to set too early.
