A friend gave me this recipe quite some time ago so I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad that I did. These little meat-loaves are amazing and so healthy. I even used extra lean turkey which sometimes has a tendency to be dry. I bought a meat thermometer a few weeks ago because I have a tendency to be a little paranoid and over cook meat. However, this did the trick. Let me know what you think.
Turkey Mini-Meatloaves
Meatloaf:
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 1/4 pound extra lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons Parmesan
1 large egg (I only used the egg white)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Glaze: (I did not make the glaze, I just spread a little bit of ketchup on the top)
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1. PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees.
2. PLACE bread crumbs in a large bowl, pour milk over crumbs.
3. HEAT 1 tsp oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and stir until just wilted. Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs. Add the turkey, cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Combine the mixture with your hands until well mixed; it will be quite wet.
4. PACK 1 cup mixture into a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Invert the cup onto baking sheet. Bake mini meatloaves until cooked through and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
