Turkey Meatloaf Muffins

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

Today I am coming at you with a totally new spin on the boring old meatloaf...I have transformed the so called "loaf" into muffins!!!! This way they are portioned out and I can stick them in my lunchbox for lunch. They also freeze really easily!!!!!! I used turkey to keep things a little bit on the lean side however you can used 100 percent ground angus beef and they would be amazing. 

Shopping List:

two tubes 85 % lean ground turkey

one tube of regular pork sausage

fresh parsley 

1/2 cup shredded white cheddar

one egg

one cup breadcrumbs

1/3 cup ketchup

few gluts of worstechire sauce

salt/pepper

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped zucchini and squash

1/2 cup chopped onion.

greased muffin tin

two sweet potatoes peeled and chunked

Procedure

preheat oven to 350

In a bowl combine your tubes of turkey and about a third of the tube of pork

mix in your egg ( this is your binder) cheese, and bread crumbs...you can go ahead and season the meat the way you would like as well. I generously salt and pepper it.

Wash your hands and start sautteeing the veggies. In a pan over med. high heat start by adding a third of a stick of butter to warm the pan up then pour all of the veggies in and coat with the butter... add some salt and pepper. Cover and cook for about 7 minutes... once veggies are soft add the ketchup and worstechire. Coat well. Pour veggies into the meat mixture and mix well. add the parsley and fold in with your hands. Next place the mixture into the muffin dish filling the cups all the way to the top. Squirt a little more ketchup on top for good measure :) Im a ketchup freak. 

Stick the meatloaf muffins in the oven for a good 45-55 minutes. Mean while boil your potatoes until soft..add butter and salt and pepper and give them good mashing. 

Once your meat loaf muffins are done pull them out and they should slide out of the tin relatively easy ....top with the mashed potatoes and serve with a side of veggies :) Done!!!! aren't they cute?? I love cute food!
