Mini Tex Mex Turkey Meatloaves Recipes

MINI TURKEY MEATLOAVES

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

INDIVIDUAL TURKEY MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Grate the carrot and garlic on the small holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Add the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, paprika, eggs, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined.
• Divide the mixture into 6 even portions and form each into a small loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet. Mix the chili sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl and brush over the loaves. Bake until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

MINI BUFFALO TURKEY MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Combine the onion, chopped carrot and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, egg, panko, milk, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix well with your hands. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick oval patties on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake the patties until lightly browned, firm and a thermometer inserted into the centers registers 160˚ F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Whisk the melted butter and remaining 1/3 cup hot sauce in a bowl. Brush the tops of the meatloaves with half of the sauce, then return to the oven until the sauce is baked in, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining sauce.
• Transfer the meatloaves to plates. Toss the broccoli, grated carrots and celery with the blue cheese dressing; serve with the meatloaves.
