New Recipe: Meatloaf Muffins

Do you ever forget about recipes you love?  This week with our Jennie-O Turkey Meatloaf talk, I was reminded of one of my favorite recipes from my days of weight loss past.

I picked this recipe up on the Weight Watchers eTools and have made it many times over the years.  It's an easy alternative to meatloaf, and I think that kids would love the muffin-sized meatloafs, too!

This week, I made it with a little flavor variation... and loved all three versions!

Meatloaf Muffins

Makes 12 Muffins

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean ground turkey

1 box Stove Top Stuffing

(I think Savory Herbs flavor works best)

2 egg whites

1 cup water

1/2 onion, finely chopped (optional)

ketchup or barbecue sauce (optional)

Cooking Spray

INSTRUCTIONS
1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

As usual, I made just 1/2 the recipe

I tried to use a spoon to combine, but ended up having to go in with my hands

2.  Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.  Divide mixture amongst the muffin pan.

I made slightly smaller muffins, as you can see

3.  Optional:  Top the muffins with a drizzle of ketchup or barbecue sauce prior to baking.  I decided to kick it up a notch... with a few sauces I had in the fridge. 

I used ketchup, of course... but I also had two homemade sauces I love on hand: Neely's Barbecue Sauce and a Mustardy Barbecue Sauce.

4.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Look how good they look coming out of the oven

Of the three flavors, I definitely liked the Neely's version the best - - Yum-O! 
All were REALLY GOOD though!
