Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil

Cooking spray or muffin liners for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Turkey: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Add the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey mixture with the chopped spinach and shredded cheddar cheese.

        Prepare the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Assemble the Cups: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or use muffin liners. Spoon the turkey and spinach mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about halfway. Pour the beaten eggs over the turkey and spinach mixture until just about full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden on top.

              Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
