# Protein-Packed Egg Muffins for Mornings

*Recipe by [@mealprepmike](https://save.cooking/@mealprepmike)*

High-protein egg muffins loaded with lean turkey, veggies, and cheese—made in one pan, baked fast, and built for grab-and-go meal prep all week.

These egg muffins are my default when mornings get tight and I still want to hit protein without thinking. Bake a batch once, portion them, and you’ve got a reliable breakfast for the next 4–5 days. They reheat in under a minute and won’t fall apart in a container.

**Total Time:** 32 minutes | **Prep:** 10 minutes | **Cook:** 22 minutes | **Servings:** 6

## Ingredients

### Base

- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 g) liquid egg whites
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk (any kind) or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

### Mix-ins

- 8 oz (225 g) lean ground turkey (93% or leaner)
- 1 cup (30–40 g) baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup (150 g) diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup (75 g) diced red onion
- 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded cheddar or mozzarella (reduced-fat optional)

### For the pan

- Nonstick cooking spray or 2 tsp olive oil

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with nonstick spray (hit the rims too).

2. Cook the turkey: heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add turkey, and cook 5–7 minutes, breaking it up, until no longer pink. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper if you want. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.

3. Whisk the eggs: in a large bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.

4. Add mix-ins: stir in cooked turkey, spinach, bell pepper, red onion, and shredded cheese.

5. Fill the cups: divide mixture evenly among 12 muffin cups (about 3/4 full). Stir the bowl between scoops so the fillings stay evenly distributed.

6. Bake 18–22 minutes, until the centers are set and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Rest 5 minutes in the pan, then run a knife around edges and remove to a rack to cool.

7. Meal prep: once cooled, store in airtight containers. Reheat 2 muffins in the microwave for 45–75 seconds (from fridge).
