Turkey Pizza Cups

These Turkey Pizza Cups deliver all the savory, comforting flavors of classic pizza in a high-protein, grain-free format. Seasoned lean ground turkey is pressed directly into a muffin tin to form meat-based "crust" cups, which are then filled with rich marinara sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. Baking up juicy and tender in just 20 minutes, they deliver around 30g of protein per serving while staying low-carb—making them a perfect grab-and-go option for meal prep, weekday lunches, or post-workout dinners.
