Description
A fun and delicious twist on the classic meatloaf, these Mini Turkey Meatloaves are perfect for busy weeknight dinners and are healthier while still being juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (minced)
- 2 lb 93/7 Ground Turkey
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes, then add thyme and garlic for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cooled onion mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into eighths (approximately 5-6 ounces each) and shape into small loaves. Arrange on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Brush half this mixture over the tops of the meatloaves.
- Bake for 15 minutes, add remaining glaze, and continue baking until the center reaches 150˚F, about 5-10 more minutes.
- Let the meatloaves rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meatloaf ingredients to ensure tenderness. Adding grated zucchini or carrots can increase moisture.
