These super muffins are packed with protein, iron and good carbs, they are good for breakfast, mid- meal snack and take out. I use to make them for myself during my free time and store them to use over the week. They can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheat to use when you need a quick and healthy meal.
You can substitute ground turkey with different kind of meat like ground chicken, beef or pork to get the different flavors. Making these muffins is very simple, bake them easily in muffins molds to serve one at a time. I use quinoa to avoid bread crumbs as it is more suitable for a bodybuilder. Let’s see the easiest recipe of ground turkey and quinoa muffins.
