Provided by Jackie618

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground turkey, or ground chicken breasts
3 egg whites
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dry yellow mustard
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper spice (we could only find this at Whole Foods)
2 tablespoons garlic powder, or 2 cloves, minced
2 celery stalks, finely chopped, about 1 cup
1 small onion, finely chopped, about 1 cup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with foil (Jamie uses muffin tins but they get very messy!). If you use the easy release foil, it makes for quick clean-up. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Roll the mixture into balls & place on your baking sheet or in your muffin tin. Bake for 40 minutes (This may vary depending on your oven. I would suggest using a meat thermometer to ensure your meat is fully cooked).

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs lean ground turkey
3 egg whites
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon powdered chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder (2 cloves minced)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 celery (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray muffin pan with canola or olive oil.
  • Mix all your ingredients together in one large bowl.
  • Roll the mixture into balls and place in muffin pan. Muffins should be about the size of a racquetballs.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Notes: The original recipe calls for 2 tsp of Chipotle Pepper spice (referred to here as powdered chipotle pepper) but I found that too much. Feel free to try it with 2 tsp of the spice if you prefer a more smokey flavour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ground turkey: Fresh ground turkey will give your meatloaf muffins a more flavorful and juicy texture. If you can't find fresh ground turkey, you can use frozen ground turkey that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Add moisture to the mixture: Ground turkey can be a bit dry, so it's important to add moisture to the mixture. You can do this by adding eggs, bread crumbs, milk, or broth. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, carrots, or celery, to help keep the meatloaf muffins moist.
  • Season the mixture well: Don't be afraid to season the mixture well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are a good starting point. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Line the muffin tins with liners: This will help prevent the meatloaf muffins from sticking to the pan and will make them easier to remove. You can use paper muffin liners or silicone muffin liners.
  • Bake the meatloaf muffins at a high temperature: This will help to brown the outside of the muffins and keep the inside moist. Bake the meatloaf muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf muffins are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional meatloaf. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
