Ingredients

  • ½ lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 english muffins toasted - can use gluten free

Instructions

  • Add the ground turkey to your large mixing bowl, then add the paprika, garlic powder, red chili flakes, salt & pepper and mix well. Divide into 4 balls and form into patties.
  • Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat and add the patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked through.
  • Wipe the pan clean and once again spray with cooking spray. Crack an egg into the skillet inside of a round cookie cutter or ring mold and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Use a spatula to break the yolk and spread it around the egg white, creating a thin layer. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes, then flip the egg and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  • Toast the english muffins in a toaster or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). You can lightly butter them once they're toasted.
  • Assemble the Egg McMuffins by placing the cheese slices on the bottom half of each English muffin. Add the turkey sausage patty, then top with the cooked egg.
  • Place the top half of the English muffin on top of the egg. If you want a more authentic McDonald's experience, wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper and let them sit for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt.
