Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup

Topping

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

For Greasing

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature for the mini meatloafs.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a uniform mixture.
  3. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier after baking.
  4. Form Meatloafs: Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Press the mixture firmly into each cup to shape mini meatloafs.
  5. Bake: Bake the mini meatloafs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Add Cheese (Optional): In the last 5 minutes of baking, top each meatloaf with shredded cheddar cheese to allow it to melt and brown slightly.
  7. Serve or Store: Once baked, serve immediately for best taste or store the mini meatloafs for meal prep to enjoy later.
