A convenient and savory twist on traditional meatloaf, this recipe begins with 2 pounds of ground turkey, which forms the hearty base of the muffins. Add diced onions and bell peppers for flavor and texture.
To bind it all together, you can use ground flaxseeds or a slice of sprouted bread torn into small pieces. Crack in 2 eggs to help hold everything in place.
The flavorful mixture comes to life with the addition of tomato paste, garlic powder, oregano, brown or yellow mustard, coconut aminos, pepper, and salt. These ingredients combine to create a tasty, well-seasoned filling.
Scoop this mixture into muffin tins and bake to perfection. The result is a batch of savory Turkey Meatloaf Muffins that are perfect for portion control and easy serving. Enjoy this convenient and flavorful twist on a classic dish!
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs ground turkey
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
1/4 c ground flaxseeds or 1 slice of sprouted bread, torn into small pieces
2 eggs
1 - 6 oz can tomato paste
1 T garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 T brown or yellow mustard
2 T coconut aminos
1 tsp pepper
-
1/2 tsp salt
STEPS
Chop and sauté peppers and onion in a skillet.
While that’s cooking, add all remaining ingredients to a large bowl. Add sautéed veggies and combine well with your hands.
Place meatloaf mixture in a sprayed muffin tin and cook 425° 25-30 min. I always place a cookie sheet on the rack below in the oven in case of drips.
-
Topped with a lower sugar ketchup or the real deal because there’s no starch.
Notes: I love these as a meal prep too. They’re great in a crunch wrap or a meatloaf and egg sandwich. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it, ha! I’ll even eat these cold leftover the next day. They pack in 18 grams of protein a piece.
Flavor Swap: 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce or your favorite hot sauce instead of tomato paste for Buffalo Meatloaf Muffins. Top with blue cheese.
