Mexican Turkey Frittata
Monday, January 20, 2014
Grab a muffin pan — this no-gluten Mexican frittata recipe is the right way to brunch. Featuring chipotle peppers, fresh cilantro and diced mushrooms baked with eggs and cheese, it clocks in at under 300 calories per serving!
Café Sid Notes: Got the idea to make these from The Biggest Loser (featuring Jennie-O Ground Turkey). We thought the chipotle was going to make them kinda spicy, but it didn't. We've made some modifications since first posting this, and I think we got it just to our liking. Great topped with spicy salsa too!
