Place each silicone muffin pan on a baking sheet or spray muffin trays well with non-stick spray. Evenly distribute the turkey mixture between the 24 muffin cups.

In a blender combine the egg whites and cottage cheese. Blend until the cottage cheese is smooth.

Evenly distribute the egg white mixture between to each cup followed by the shredded cheese over the 24 cups. Using a spoon slightly stir each cup to spread the cheese throughout vs. just on top.
