MINI MEATLOAVES
Simple basic weeknight dinner. There's a mixture of pork and turkey to keep it meaty and flavorful. But you can use all ground turkey if you like. The football shape is perfect for a game night.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Gently combine the pork and turkey by hand in a large bowl. Stir together the oats, 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, 1/2 tablespoon of the mustard, the soy sauce, oregano, egg whites, onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until combined. Add the oat mixture to the meat mixture and combine by hand until just incorporated.
- Form the meatloaf mixture into 4 small football-shaped loaves, about 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick, and place on the prepared pan. Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon mustard in a small bowl. Brush some of the ketchup mixture on each meatloaf.
- Bake until fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Garnish with additional fresh oregano if desired, and serve.
INDIVIDUAL MEATLOAF IN PUFF PASTRY
Steps:
- -Thaw puff pastry sheet completely. Do not hurry this, or it will break and be useless. -Preheat oven to 350 degrees. -Chop up shallots and garlic, mix together with all the other ingredients in a bowl and knead well. -Cut a square of puff pastry (one quarter of the sheet) with a sharp knife on a cutting board. -Roll out the square to about twice the area, nearly as thin as you think it can be without letting holes appear. -Spoon a quarter of the meat mixture into the middle of the puff pastry. -Fold over the four corners of the pastry, and "glue" them together with water. They should overlap and form several layers over the top of the meat. -Place all of the meat loaves on an oven sheet, with some oil or other lubricant to keep them from burning to the sheet. They should be flipped over, so that the side with multiple layers of puff pastry is on the bottom (juice will try to leak out. It will be absorbed this way rather than making the thinner portion of the pastry tear). -Bake about 35 minutes, or until the pastry looks "puffed up," golden brown, and delicious.
