When you need a simple comfort food, Muffin Tin Mini Turkey Meatloaves are a healthy and easy option.
And one that tastes exactly like what you expect from the perennial favorite counterpart.
I love that they’re family-friendly, perfectly proportioned, and even a candidate for make ahead meals. They freeze beautifully.
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.
Just… perfect.
