Ingredients

1 ½ cups flour
½ cup corn meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt AND pepper
2 eggs
1 ¼ cup milk
⅓ cup avocado oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz ground turkey cooked and seasoned with dried sage, fennel seed, dried thyme, salt and pepper. About 1/2 teaspoon of each or to taste

Instructions

Before you start, make sure your ground turkey is cooked and seasoned so you can let it cool before combining all the ingredients. To cook the turkey, cook it in a pan with a little bit of oil. Seasoned the turkey with dried sage, fennel seed, dried thyme, salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon of each or to taste).
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin. Now, combine the dry ingredient in a medium bowl: flour, corn meal, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, and avocado oil.
Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet. Mix until combined and smooth.
Once the dry and wet ingredients are combined, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked ground turkey. Fold gently until combined.
Scoop the batter into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes.
