1 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup quick oats ((gluten-free, if desired))
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray a six-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set on top of the baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, olive oil, quick oats, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper.

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until the center of a meatloaf muffin reaches 165°F on an instant read thermometer. Use a spoon to help lift the muffins out of the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

3/4 cup ketchup
2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion (1 medium onion)
2 slices sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup ketchup with the remaining ingredients until well combined. Divide mixture among 6 cups of a 12-cup (4 ounce) muffin tin, spacing them evenly and gently compressing and mounding the tops. Brush tops with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup.

Tips:

Mise en Place: - Ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared before starting the recipe. Breadcrumbs: - For a crispier meatloaf muffin, use panko breadcrumbs. - Season the breadcrumbs with herbs, spices, or grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Meatloaf Mixture: - Mix the ingredients gently to avoid overworking the meat, resulting in a tough texture. - Use a combination of ground turkey and ground pork for a more flavorful meatloaf. Muffin Tins: - Grease the muffin tins thoroughly to prevent the meatloaf muffins from sticking. - Alternatively, use paper muffin liners for easy removal. Baking: - Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking to ensure even cooking. - Bake the meatloaf muffins until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety. Toppings: - Add a layer of cheese on top of the meatloaf muffins before baking for a cheesy crust. - For a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top. Serving: - Let the meatloaf muffins rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. - Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for an attractive presentation.

Conclusion:

The cheesy turkey meatloaf muffins are a delicious and versatile dish perfect for busy weeknight dinners or entertaining guests. With the convenience of individual servings, these meatloaf muffins are a great option for parties or potlucks.
