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.

Delicious! These are a winter staple in our house! I just quadruple the recipe and we freeze them. They are great out of the freezer on those nights you don't want cook or just don't have the time! Read More

Tasty and Easy I didn't have mini tins so I made one big one instead. I almost always find meatloaf of any kind to be too bland so I added Italian herbs and about 1/3 cup of precooked crumbled bacon. It was a bit on the crumbly side so I probably should have added a bit of milk or egg to compensate for the bacon. Anyway it was super good! Baked the biggie at 400 for an hour. Pros: Tasted good healthy Read More

even I can make it I am not a very good cook and had in-laws (who are great cooks) staying with me. I didn't have a regular muffin tin so I used mini muffin tins. When they kept getting up to get more even after dinner was put away I knew I had done well! Pros: great taste easy to make Read More

Another keeper! My husband and kids both devoured their mini meatloaf. I made mine with one pound lean ground beef and 8 ounces lean turkey and added some fresh diced red peppers into the mix. Mine needed to cook a little less time than was recommended so just be sure to keep an eye on them towards the end. Read More
