MINI TURKEY MEATLOAVES



Mini Turkey Meatloaves image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 1/2 cups regular oats
1 cup whole milk
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
4 slices bacon, cut into very small bits
3 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup ketchup, plus more if needed

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

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 slice whole wheat bread
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
5 ounces bag baby spinach leaves
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey (I prefer breast)
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3 large carrots, cut on the bias
2 yukon gold potatoes, cut on the bias
1/4 cup asparagus (about 4 stalks)
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped chives
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange oven racks to accommodate two dishes being cooked simultaneously.
  • Grind the bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl, and pour milk over crumbs.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, and stir until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs. Add the turkey, cheese, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Combine the mixture with your hands until well mixed; it will be quite wet.
  • Pack 1 cup of the mixture into a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Invert the cup onto a rimmed baking sheet, gently shaking the cup to release the mixture. Gently pat the mound to smooth its shape. Repeat three times with remaining mixture. Bake mini meatloaves until cooked through and golden, about 40 minutes.
  • While the meatloaves are cooking, make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Brush over meatloaves.
  • To make the roasted root vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss all the vegetables in the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Add to the oven along with the meatloaves and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring midway through baking. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the mini meat loaves. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also bake the mini meat loaves in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time, as they will take longer to cook in a larger pan.
  • You can customize the flavor of the mini meat loaves by adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, rosemary, carrots, and celery.
  • Serve the mini meat loaves with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

These mini turkey meat loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give these mini turkey meat loaves a try!
