MINI TURKEY MEATLOAVES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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

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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes ground turkey, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your meatloaf minis generously. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of ground turkey.
  • Mix Well: Be sure to mix the meatloaf mixture thoroughly so that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape into Mini Loaves: Divide the meatloaf mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into mini loaves. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake at High Temperature: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the meatloaf minis for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Let Rest: Allow the meatloaf minis to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Serve the meatloaf minis with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf minis are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a main course, these meatloaf minis are sure to be a hit.
