Ingredients

Mini Turkey Meatloaf Mix

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 pound Italian turkey sausage
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup oats
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 tablespoons tomato paste ½ of a 6 oz. can
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and black pepper

Meatloaf Glaze

  • 5 tablespoons tomato paste ½ of a 6 oz. can
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Serving

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450. Cover a sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Add all meatloaf mix ingredients to a large bowl. Mix it with your hands just enough to combine all the ingredients. Be careful not to overwork the meatloaf mix or it can become dense and tough.
  • Place the meatloaf mix onto the prepared sheet tray. Pat it evenly into a 1 ½ to 2-inch thick rectangle.
  • Mix glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Spread it evenly over the meatloaf.
  • Using the dull edge of a butter knife or a wooden or silicone spatula, cut the meatloaf into 8 equal pieces. Be careful not to cut through the aluminum foil. Spread the 8 mini meatloaves an inch or two apart on the pan.
  • Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove the mini meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • If desired, serve with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Gently mix meatloaf with your hands until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough and dense meatloaf. 
  • If you don't want to mix meatloaf with your hands, put the mixture in a large plastic bag and knead it through the bag.
