Turkey Mini Meatloaves

Makes 6 servings (1 mini meatloaf)

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ⅓ cup uncooked old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup ketchup, divided
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 lb. ground turkey

Note: Serve these perfectly-portioned mini loaves with a fresh green salad for a light meal. Add mashed potatoes, if desired.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer onions to large bowl, and let cool slightly.
  2. Add oats, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 ½ teaspoons mustard, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, pepper and egg whites to onions, and stir until well blended. Add turkey, and gently mix just until incorporated.
  3. Spoon meat mixture evenly into 6 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1 ½ teaspoons mustard in a small bowl, and brush evenly over loaves.
  4. Bake 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a loaf registers 165˚F.
