Ingredients:

14 oz ground turkey
400g
1 egg
54g
1 cup multi-grain oatmeal
120g
1 tsp ground cumin
2.10g
3/4 tsp dried thyme
1.05g
1 tsp mustard
5g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 tsp red pepper (spice)
1.80g
1 tbsp garlic powder
10g
1 zucchini
120g
1 onion
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
3. Mix the ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, multi-grain oatmeal, ground cumin, dried thyme, mustard, black pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, grated zucchini, and finely chopped onion.
- Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well incorporated. You can use your hands or a spoon to ensure an even mixture.
4. Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Press the mixture down slightly to compact it.
5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads at least 165°F (74°C).
6. Cool and serve: Once cooked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before starting to ensure it is ready when you are.

- Grate the zucchini and finely chop the onion before mixing it into the batter to ensure even distribution and better texture.

- Mix the ground turkey, egg, oatmeal, and spices thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

- Use a non-stick muffin tin or line the tin with paper muffin liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

- Fill each muffin slot evenly to allow for uniform cooking.

- Bake the muffins for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These protein muffins are not only tasty but also versatile, fitting well into a busy lifestyle. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or pack them for a quick, healthy bite. Happy cooking!
