Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated yellow onion 1 small
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup grated carrots 2 medium
- 1 cup finely chopped baby bella mushrooms
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking spray
- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean; I use Butterball all natural
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup ketchup divided
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup panko next to breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar light or dark
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare veggies by grating the onion with a grater, using the largest holes, mince the garlic, grate the carrot (with the grater again; peel first), and finely chop the mushrooms.
- Heat a large pan to medium-high and add olive oil, onion, garlic, and shredded carrots. Sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to sauté veggies until they release their moisture and the liquid evaporates. After veggies are dry and tender, transfer them to a large bowl and let cool about 5 minutes. (Adding the egg to the hot veggies will cook it.) Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a muffin pan generously with cooking spray.
- Once veggies have cooled, add Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, egg, and panko to the bowl. Season to taste; I add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix well until evenly combined. Add ground turkey and use your hands to gently mix everything together, being careful to not overmix.
- Evenly divide meat mixture among the 12 cavities of the prepared muffin pan. Bake mini loaves in the 375°F oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. After meatloaves have baked, remove from oven and spoon this glaze evenly over each meatloaf. Return them to oven and bake another 15 minutes.
- Allow the meatloaves to rest 5 minutes, then carefully lift out with a fork (use a knife to loosen edges if needed). Enjoy while hot.

Notes
Note 1: Once the ground turkey has been added, gently blend the mixture with your hands—just long enough to incorporate the ingredients. Overmixing will create dense loaves.
