Turkey Muffins – the Perfect Protein Snack!

Making a big batch of healthy eats for the entire week is critical to getting thru the busy week. These Turkey Muffins by Jamie Eason have been a staple in my diet, as well as my clients when they are competing in the Ohio Body Transformation Challenge. It packs in protein, hides some veggies and is low in calories – makes for the perfect afternoon snack or even an appetizer at a holiday party – in which you use a mini muffin tin instead!
