Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds of ground turkey (lean, 93% lean works best for moisture without being greasy)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (yellow onion preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.33 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 0.5 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 0.5 cup finely diced bell pepper or grated carrot
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a mini loaf or muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, and optional veggies if using. Mix gently to combine without overworking.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 0.5 cup ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the turkey mixture.
  • Add breadcrumbs, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Fold together just until combined, adding extra breadcrumbs if mixture feels too wet.
  • Divide mixture evenly and shape into small loaves or pack into prepared pan sections without pressing too hard.
  • Spread a thin layer of additional ketchup over each mini meatloaf.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
