Sometimes it takes forever to get around to doing something and when you finally get around to doing it, and it’s pretty successful you wonder, why the heck did I wait so long? Having a kid, for example. Who knew it’d be so awesome? And, in this case, turkey muffins.

Paleo peeps rave about this idea. It’s quick! It’s on-the-go! It’s blah-blah-blah. I told the husband this was my plan and he kind of gave that “um, okay” noncommital answer. Just in case I bought him a little container of chicken salad. Turns out he didn’t need it.

First of all, it IS easy to make. Cuisinart some veggies (in this case, red pepper, onion, zucchinni). Season the heck out of some turkey (Worcestershire, salt/pepper, TJ’s Everyday Seasoning, onion powder). Add some panko breadcrumbs. Combine it all and scoop into a muffin pan. Spoon barbecue or teriyaki sauce on top.

450 degrees + 20 minutes = 180 internal temp on a meat thermometer = DONE.

I based the recipe on this AllRecipes one. Keeper. You can paleo-ize it by skipping the breadcrumbs and replacing with something paleo-friendly (I dunno, maybe almond flour or an egg? I’m trying to shift my focus away from Paleo for a bit so why don’t you try it out and tell me how it goes)

Served with ripe avocado, cherry tomatoes from our garden and some sauteed green beans.

Some good healthy eats after a month of not-so-much.
