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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. 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).
  3. Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  4. Spoon a small amount of additional ketchup on top of each muffin for a glaze.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the muffins are cooked through and browned.
  6. 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.
