COOKING LIGHT'S TURKEY MINI MEATLOAVES



Cooking Light's Turkey Mini Meatloaves image

From the April 2007 issue of Cooking Light magazine. The recipe can easily be doubled to feed 6 (increasing the baking time to 45-50 minutes).

Provided by Ms B.

Categories     Poultry

Time 40m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 ounces ground turkey breast
1 large egg white
3 tablespoons ketchup, divided
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (I used Garlic Tabasco)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; saute 5 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  • Combine onion, breadcrumbs, and next 7 ingredients (through egg white) in a large bowl.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of the ketchup.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture into each of 3 muffin cups coated with cooking spray; place muffin tin on a baking sheet. (This is necessary to keep the oven clean, as the juices of the meatloaves tend to bubble up out of the muffin cups and can drip on the floor of the oven.).
  • Combine remaining 1 tablespoon ketchup with hot pepper sauce in a small bowl. Brush ketchup mixture over meat loaf tops.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees.

Tips:

- Before cooking the turkey meatloaf mixture, preheat the oven to 350°F to ensure even cooking. - Use a large mixing bowl to combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. - If the meatloaf mixture seems too dry, add a little bit of milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency. - Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the meatloaves from sticking. - Use a tablespoon to scoop the meatloaf mixture into the prepared baking pan. Form the mixture into 12 mini meatloaves. - Bake the mini meatloaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaves should read 165°F. - While the meatloaves are baking, prepare the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. - After the meatloaves are cooked through, remove them from the oven and spread the glaze on top. Return the meatloaves to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. - Let the mini meatloaves cool slightly before serving. They can be served with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dishes.

Conclusion:

These mini Tex-Mex turkey meatloaves are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
