  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lb ground turkey
  • 1 (6oz) box Stove Top stuffing mix, dry (I like the pork or herb flavors)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1.5 cups (divided) marinara or pasta sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine water, stuffing mix, 3/4 cup marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
  3. Add ground turkey and mix until well-combined.
  4. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin and divide the meat mixture evenly between all 12 cups.
  5. Make a small dent in the top of each “muffin” and, using a spoon, divide the remaining 3/4 cup marinara sauce among the 12 “muffins”.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Top each muffin with some of the mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
  8. Serve while warm.

Notes

  • Gluten-free: These can be gluten-free if you use a gf stuffing mix (both Rudi’s and Glutino make them) or make your own stuffing mix with toasted gf bread.
  • These freeze really well and defrost in the microwave for quick lunches later.
