Turkey, Egg, and Cheese English Muffin

  • Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean, 16 oz Basil, 1 tbsp Garlic, 1 clove Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Whole Wheat English Muffin, 8 muffin Egg white, 8 serving Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar, 4 cup
Directions
1) make the turkey patties!
-finely mince the garlic and basil (or whatever herbs you like in turkey.. thyme is good too.. and onion if you like it.. I don't!)
-add your garlic and herbs to the ground turkey breast and mix well.
-form 8 two ounce patties

2) cook your turkey!
- I do mine in batches of 4.

-put 1 tbsp (or less) of olive oil in my pan and get it hot. Then cook your turkey patties until it is nice and golden. Make sure they are cooked all the way through!
- put the other tbsp of oil in the pan (or not.. depends on if you need it) get it hot and cook the rest of your turkey patties.

2) build your muffins!
- I cook my egg whites in no oil.. usually takes a minute or two.. I make these every day not all at once!
-scramble your egg white and toast your muffin.
-as soon as your muffin is out, put the cheese on it (.25 cups per muffin) put the egg on top of the cheese so it will melt.
-heat your turkey patty in the microwave for about 30 seconds.. sometimes takes a little longer.

-stick your turkey patty on the egg and eat!


These are REALLY good and I keep my turkey patties in the fridge for a few days at a time.

Using a leaner turkey (which I usually do) helps lower the fat and calories.

This is a quick breakfast that is pretty healthy, and keeps me going for HOURS (which is good as I am a student!) when I pair it with a banana or some yogurt. Sometimes I even use them as a quick lunch between classes!
