These were the first two "muffins" we tried to make completely on our own. The "muffin" on the left is the Turkey Cheeseburger "Muffin" and the on the the right is the Buffalo Turkey "Muffin" They came out very yummy for a first time, but I think I would have like to have seen more yellow mustard (maybe another 1 Tbsp) and another slice of American cheese in the Turkey Cheeseburger "Muffin". It was our first trial without following a set recipe and I think they came out well enough to share with you.


Buffalo Turkey "Muffin"
10 oz ground turkey
4 Tbsp buffalo sauce (we use Texas Pete because it's so low in calories)
2 Tbsp Lite Blue Cheese Dressing (we use Marie's Salad Dressing - Light Chunky Blue Cheese)
3 Tbsp egg whites (the equivalent of 1 egg)
6 Wonton Wrappers
Pam Spray

Brown 10 oz ground turkey in a saute pan with Pam. When brown, add 4 tbsp buffalo sauce, and 2 tbsp of lite blue cheese dressing, and egg whites to the cooked turkey. Put 1 wanton wrapper in the bottom of the cup and then add a tbsp or 2 of the mixed turkey, (filling the cup half way). Then add another wrapper and the rest of the turkey. Bake @ 375 for 15 to 30 min and your done!

Turkey Cheeseburger "Muffin"
10 oz ground turkey
1 slice Kraft Fat Free American Cheese
1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
3 Tbsp egg whites (the equivalent of 1 egg)
1/2 Cup Kraft Shredded Mozzerella 2%
6 Wonton Wrappers
Pam Spray

Brown 10 oz ground turkey. Then I mixed in 1 slice Kraft fat free American cheese, 1 Tbs yellow mustard (although I think I'm going to use 2 slices and 2 Tbs mustard next time)and the whites of 1 egg into the turkey. When the cheese and mustard has coated the turkey I put 1 wanton wrapper into the bottom of the cup, add 2 Tbs of the turkey and enough 2% mozzarella to cover the mix, then repeat the layer with a wrapper, the turkey and the mozzarella. Then bake at 375 for 15-30 until the cheese at top is nicely browned.
