Recently a fellow fitness professional introduced me to the world of BodyBuilding and Fitness Modeling (don't worry I am not going to attempt either of those while training for Ironman Triathlons). However I was interested in seeing what types of foods they preferred to eat. I came across a woman by the name of Jamie Eason who seemed to have her stuff together, I mean you have to if you are named World's Fittest Model right. So in searching her blogs and recipes I decided upon this one of her many recipes to try. I was looking for an easy alternative to just baking or grilling my meat and having the veggies on the side, but also something that was more rounded than just a slab of protein.
Turkey Meatloaf
Muffins (inspired by Jamie Eason)
1 lb ground Turkey
(or chicken)
1/4 cup of egg
whites or 2 small egg whites
1/2 cup of Rolled
Oats
1/4 tsp ground
cumin
1/4 tsp dried
thyme
1 tsp ground
mustard seed
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp Flaked Red
Pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp garlic
powder
1/2 small onion,
finely chopped
1 celery stalk,
finely chopped
1 large carrot,
finely chopped
Preheat oven to 375F. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and
mush together. Mix all the spices in a separate bowl and save for later. If you
like flavor don’t skimp on the spices, add a little more for fun! Mix veggies,
turkey, egg whites, and rolled oats together with hands. Slowly sprinkle the
spice mix as you mix the ingredients again.
Spray muffin tins with olive oil. Form 12 little balls or 6
big balls and plop into the muffin tins. Feel free to pat them down. Make sure
they are all about the same size. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Eat em pipping hot on top of a green salad or a bed of raw spinach. You can freeze these for later as well.
To make this a meal I combined it with my Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower (http://northsnotesonline.blogspot.com/2012/10/roasted-garlic-mashed-cauliflower.html) , and had a spinach salad with balsamic dressing. Delicious!
