Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup canned white beans, drained, rinsed, and lightly mashed
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, mashed white beans, pesto, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid compacting the mixture so the muffins stay tender.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Press a few cherry tomato halves into the top of each portion, cut side up.
  • Bake until the centers are cooked through and the tops are lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving.

Lightly mashing the beans helps them blend into the turkey mixture while leaving a little texture. If your pesto is especially salty, reduce the added salt slightly. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and reheat them until hot.
