Are you tired of the same old meatloaf recipe? Look no further! This innovative take on a classic dish uses individual muffin tins to create three perfectly portioned mini meatloaves. With a total prep and cook time of just one hour, this easy recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
A Flavorful Foundation
The key to these mini meatloaves lies in the flavorful foundation of sautéed onions, breadcrumbs, and aromatic spices. To start, heat your oven to 350°F and coat a small skillet with cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Meat Mixture Magic
In a large bowl, combine the cooled onion, 3 tablespoons of dry breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Add 1/2 pound of ground white-meat turkey and 1 large egg white, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of ketchup to bring everything together.
Assembly and Baking
Spoon about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture into each of three muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Set the muffin tin on a baking sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce (such as Tabasco). Brush this mixture over the meatloaf tops to add an extra layer of flavor. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 165°.
Serve and Enjoy!
With these mini turkey meatloaves, you’ll have a comforting and satisfying meal on the table in no time. Perfect for a quick dinner or a fun twist on a classic party appetizer, these individual meatloaves are sure to impress. So why wait? Get cooking and enjoy!
