Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF and fill 12 muffin holes with liners. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray.


Place turkey in prepared bowl; season with salt and pepper, mix until incorporated and set aside.


Place butter and oil in a large frying pan and cook over medium heat until butter melts; add onion. Sauté onion over medium heat until wilted and translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms begin to give off moisture, about 3 to 5 minutes.


Add soy sauce and sherry; cook until mixture begins to resemble a paste, about 5 to 10 minutes. Toss in parsley and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.


Add mushroom mixture to turkey and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Drop by heaping tablespoons into prepared muffin tins until 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake muffins until center seems firm to the touch and turkey is completely cooked through, about 22 to 27 minutes. Yields 1 muffin per serving.
Notes
These muffins can be made ahead and warmed in minutes in the microwave. Pop extras in the freezer for fabulous fast-food. The addition of 1 1/2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce per muffin increases the POINTS value to 4 per serving.
