EBD Recipe: Ground Turkey Mini Meatloaf

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Special Equipment: mini meatloaf pan or muffin tin

Ingredients:

• ½ teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 3 gala apples, chopped into ¼ inch pieces
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 pounds ground turkey
• ½ cup fresh parsley, minced
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground savory
• Salt and pepper

Steps: 

1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
2. Lightly grease the mini meatloaf pan or muffin tin with coconut oil. Alternatively you can line the mini meatloaf pan with parchment paper.
3. In a medium pan melt the butter.
4. Add chopped onions, apples and celery and cook until the onions are soft (about five minutes) and stir occasionally.
5. In the last minute of cooking, add the garlic.
6. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.
7. Combine the apple mixture and turkey mixture.
8. Fill the mini meatloaf pan with the mixture. You will have enough for two batches.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the mini meatloaves register at 165ºF.

You can also use a traditional meatloaf pan. Using the whole mixture cook the meatloaf for 50 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers at 165ºF.
