Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 1/2 cups regular oats
1 cup whole milk
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
4 slices bacon, cut into very small bits
3 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup ketchup, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat 18 standard muffin cups (from two 12-cup muffin pans) with cooking spray.
  • Put the oats in a small bowl and slowly pour the milk over them. Stir to make sure the oats are all coated and then let them sit for a few minutes.
  • Put the turkey and bacon in a separate large bowl and add the oats and any extra milk from the bowl to it. Add the parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the ketchup. Use your hands to mix it all together. Place a 1/4-cup scoop of the mixture in each greased muffin cup. Squirt about 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining ketchup on top of each meatloaf. Use a spoon to smear the ketchup evenly over the top, then use it to nudge the edges of the meatloaves away from the pan a bit (this just neatens them up a little).
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then carefully squirt another 1/2 teaspoon of ketchup on top of each, spreading it carefully with a spoon to cover as much of the surface as possible. Continue to bake until completely cooked through and sizzling around the edges, about another 30 minutes. If there are any large areas without ketchup, go ahead and squirt/spread more as needed.
  • Sprinkle the meatloaves with parsley, then let them sit in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes before serving. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the loaves to loosen them if they stick. Serve them warm with a veggie on the side

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables ahead of time: Dice or chop the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use fresh herbs for extra flavor: If you have fresh parsley, cilantro, or thyme on hand, add them to the meatloaf mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf on a wire rack: This will allow the air to circulate around the meatloaf and help it cook evenly.
  • Don't crowd the meatloaves in the pan: Leave some space between the meatloaves so that they can cook evenly.
  • Baste the meatloaves with the cooking juices: This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaves rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaves stay together when you slice them.

Conclusion:

These turkey couscous meatloaves are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
