Ingredients

Greasing

  • 2 tsp butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups prepared stuffing or dressing
  • 1 cup chopped turkey
  • 1/4 lb frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with 2 teaspoons of butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of prepared stuffing, 1 cup of chopped turkey, thawed and squeezed 1/4 lb frozen spinach, 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper. Mix everything until fully incorporated.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the mixture into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are set and golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the stuffing muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm as a hearty breakfast or snack.
