Description
These Turkey Meatloaf Muffins are a fun, healthy twist on classic meatloaf baked in a muffin tin for perfectly portioned, freezer-friendly servings! Made with lean ground turkey, veggies, and a sweet-savory ketchup glaze, they’re perfect for meal prep, lunchboxes, or busy weeknights.
Ingredients
▢ 1 lb ground turkey
▢ 1 egg
▢ ½ cup breadcrumbs
▢ ⅓ cup grated carrot
▢ ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
▢ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
▢ 1 tablespoon tomato paste
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon onion powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
▢ ¼ cup ketchup + 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, onion, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings. Mix just until combined.
3. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing gently to flatten the tops.
4. In a small bowl, mix ketchup and brown sugar. Spoon a little over each meatloaf muffin.
5. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or let cool completely and refrigerate/freeze for later.
Notes
• These freeze beautifully—wrap individually and store in a freezer bag.
• Want extra veggies? Finely chopped spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers work great.
• For a lower-carb version, use almond flour or crushed pork rinds in place of breadcrumbs.
