These Mini Turkey Meatloaves taste exactly like what you expect from the perennial favorite counterpart.
The only difference between regular meatloaf and mini meatloaves is that I swap out breadcrumbs for healthier oats, use ground turkey instead of beef, green onions instead of a yellow onion, and add red pepper flakes.
Well… and that they cook in a standard muffin tin instead of a baking sheet or loaf pan.
To make a meal, add fresh green beans (I love our Neaopolitan Green Bean recipe), mashed potatoes, a simple seasonal salad or cucumber salad. I’d not say no to these Parmesan Roasted Potatoes, either.
Just… perfect.
Mini Turkey Meatloaves: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Just adjust the cooking time until the meatloaf is cooked through, and remember to note it down for next time! You might end up with a little leftover glaze when you do this – it really depends on the size of your usual meatloaf pan.
These freeze best cooked without glaze – this should be added once they’re thawed and you’re reheating them.
