Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
0.5 pound ground turkey (99% lean)
0.25 teaspoon dried sage
0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
0.25 teaspoon salt
1.5 cup baby spinach (chopped)
0.5 cup red bell pepper (finely diced)
2.5 cup liquid egg whites

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 pound ground turkey, 1/4 teaspoon dried sage, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and crumbled.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach and 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, cooking for 1 minute until the spinach just begins to wilt, then remove the skillet from heat.
Divide the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups.
Pour 2 1/2 cups liquid egg whites evenly over the filling in each muffin cup.
Bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and slightly golden around the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
