Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 20 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix ground turkey, ground sausage, crackers, eggs, soy milk, onion, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt together in a bowl. Fill each muffin cup 3/4-full with turkey mixture.

Combine ketchup, brown sugar blend, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl until smooth; spoon over each muffin cup; top with Parmesan cheese.
