Recipe FAQ
How many calories in this Egg and Sausage Muffin recipe?
The sausage and egg McMuffin in McDonald’s is 430 calories, which is more or less the same as this homemade version. However, the difference is in the macros as by using ground turkey is lower in fat and higher in protein.
If your objective is to make this low in calories, you can simply use less ground turkey to make the patty (as you can see by the photo, I made mine juicy).
Is this egg and sausage McMuffin healthy?
By substituting ground turkey for pork does mean less fat and more lean protein, and with the addition of the egg adds in more nutritional value too. However, I did use artificial and processed cheese which is not exactly healthy.
