Traditional meatloaf is made with ground beef, pork and veal; here we replace the veal with ground turkey for a tender, flavorful and leaner version of the classic. Baking individual portions in muffin tins speeds cooking, standardizes serving size and produces a moist, delicious main dish.

8 ounces ground turkey breast

with the exception of my husband, my family is not a meatloaf-lovin' type of household. however, in my effort to revamp our usual menu of meal rotation, I'm willing to try anything new, especially healthy. we all enjoyed the mini-meatloaves. my kids, ages 5 and 1, gobbled them up. loved the portion size and topping sauce.

These worked out great for my family really delicious & quick to make ahead. The one issue I have with most recipies is the amount of grams of sugar per serving, rarely see it on most recipies I print from Eating Well. Can you help me on determining how much sugar is in this recipie. My husband really loves these mini-loaves.
