  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup milk (240 ml) mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted or olive oil
  • ¾ cup turkey sausage, cooked
  • ½ cup white onion, diced, caramelized
  • 1 bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Make the batter: In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter.
  • Add the turkey, onion, bell pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, spinach, basil and Italian seasoning to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and fold to combine, being careful not to overmix the batter.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling almost completely.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through baking, until browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Enjoy!
