- In a large bowl add bell pepper, onion ground turkey, oats, egg, pepper, salt, garlic and soy sauce. Mix together with clean hands until just combined.
- With a quarter cup measuring cup, scoop the meat mixture into the holes of the muffin pan. Any remaining meat mixture split evenly between the mini meatloafs.

Notes
- A food or hand chopper will mince the onion and pepper into really small pieces easily. If you don’t have one though you can mince both vegetables using a large chef’s knife and a cutting board. The most important part is to make the pieces as small as possible, as it’s a more pleasant texture in the meatloaf. (This is also important for pickier eaters also.)
- If you prefer a milder onion taste, try rinseing and dry the onion on a paper towel before adding it to the meatloaf. You can also use sweet onion for a milder onion flavor.
- Mixing with the meat mixture with your hands keeps you from overmixing the mixture, which can dry out the meatloaf. Add a little cooking oil to your hands before mixing to help keep the meatloaf even juicier.
- Sometimes the meatloaf may stick a little to the muffin pan. Use a large spoon or a thin frosting spatula and run it around the inside of the pan to release the meatloaf before serving.
