Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.5g) ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.5g) ground oregano
  • 1 lb (450g) ground turkey sausage
  • 4 large eggs (200g), beaten
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-fat milk
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (170g) diced bell pepper (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup (120g) sautéed spinach (drained)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and oregano to combine.
  3. Stir in cooked turkey sausage and crumbled mozzarella cheese into the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and low-fat milk.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced bell pepper and sautéed spinach.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin and serving warm.

Notes

Substitute whole-wheat flour for a fiber-rich version.
Use almond milk for a dairy-free rendition.
Optional: Replace mozzarella with cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
Ensure the turkey sausage is fully cooked before mixing to prevent undercooked meat spots.
