Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Add the olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the diced onions and cook for 4 minutes, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, 2 tablespoons meatloaf seasoning, egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and breadcrumbs, along with the cooked onions and garlic.
  6. Once the mixture is combined well, press it into a greased muffin tin.
  7. Place into the oven for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Serving size: I recommend 3 mini meatloaves per person, so this recipe will serve 4. The nutritional information above is for 1 mini meatloaf.
  • Storage: Store leftover mini meatloaves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave, oven or air fryer.
  • Ground meat: you can use ground turkey, ground chicken or ground beef to make these mini meatloaves.  If using beef, I recommend something with a lower fat content, like 90/10, over a traditional 80/20 ground beef that contains 20% fat. As the mini meatloaves cook, the grease from the fat will cook out and begin to puddle on top of the mini meatloaves. To reduce the grease pile-up, I like to use a ground meat that’s lower in fat for this recipe.
  • To make this recipe gluten free: use gluten free panko breadcrumbs or pork panko. Always check the label on the Worcestershire sauce to make sure that it’s gluten free. The brand Lea and Perrins, used in this recipe, is gluten free. Also, always use my homemade meatloaf seasoning when making this recipe gluten free. Many of the meatloaf seasoning packets found at the grocery store contain wheat and barley.
  • To make this recipe keto: use pork panko instead of traditional panko bread crumbs. Glaze the meatloaf with this sugar-free bbq sauce recipe. This will reduce the carbs per mini meatloaf from 8 carbs, down to 4 carbs. Always use my homemade meatloaf seasoning, if making this recipe for a keto diet. The seasoning packets at the grocery store often contain sugar, wheat and barley.
