Description
These Turkey Meatloaf Muffins offer a healthier, portion-controlled twist on classic meatloaf, baked in individual muffin cups for easy serving and quick cooking times.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup ketchup, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined (do not overmix).
- Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Spoon a small amount of additional ketchup on top of each muffin for a glaze.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the muffins are cooked through and browned.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing and serving.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Panko breadcrumbs will yield a slightly lighter texture than plain breadcrumbs.
- For a low-sugar glaze, use no-sugar-added ketchup for the topping.
