Mini Turkey Meatloaves
We have never had a regular meatloaf before. I guess us and our oldest sister were very picky when we were little so my Mom didn’t even bother to make it for us. A while ago, we saw a recipe on Dani Spies blog for Mini-Turkey Meatloaves. This is a healthy twist on the traditional comfort food– meatloaf. This recipe is great; we loved that the loaves were single-servings. The salsa really did put a Southwestern spin on this meatloaf…which is not a bad thing if you like Southwestern flavors.
Serves 6.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb of extra lean ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 heaping cup of Cremini mushrooms, minced
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup of salsa plus an extra ½ cup for the tops
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl combine onions, mushrooms, parsley, one cup of salsa, oats, egg, garlic powder, thyme, and ground turkey. Give it a hit of salt and pepper and then use your hands to mix everything together until well incorporated.
Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Using your hands (once again!) to free-form six mini meatloaves and place on the baking sheet. Top each loaf with about a tablespoon of the remaining salsa.
Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Enjoy!
