Meatloaf Muffins
Meatloaf muffins are a fun and healthy dinner and great for both kids and adults. These delicious muffins are topped with ketchup and ready in less than 30 minutes.
Yield: 9 muffins
Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs. lean ground turkey
- ⅓ cup finely diced onion
- 3 tablespoons finely diced carrot
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine all of the ingredients, except for the ketchup. Mix well with a fork until combined, but don’t overmix.
- Scoop the turkey mixture into the muffin tins, filling 9 full. It helps to use a spoon to really press the mixture all the way in.
- Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and add a small squeeze of ketchup on top of each muffin. Return to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, until the turkey reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes
Ground turkey: I use 93% lean ground turkey for my meatloaf and meatloaf muffins. You could try submitting ground beef, but I haven’t tested it that way.
Breadcrumbs: I use store-bought plain breadcrumbs for this recipe, but I think the Italian flavored ones would be fine to use as well.
Ketchup: Adding a squeeze of ketchup to the tops of these muffins and then finishing them in the oven gives some extra flavor. I’ve also used BBQ sauce instead before and that was delicious as well.
After baking: It helps to use a butter knife to run around the edges and help loosen and lift out the cooked turkey meatloaf muffins.
Cheese: You could serve these sprinkled with some grated Parmesan cheese if you’d like. Or top the muffins with some shredded cheddar before they bake to melt down and make cheesy meatloaf muffins.
Servings: This recipe makes 9 muffins. One is usually enough for my kids, but us adults eat 2-3.
Full meatloaf: You can bake this as a full meatloaf. Shape it into a meatloaf and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 35-40 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through.
Leftovers: Leftover meatloaf muffins will keep in the refrigerator, in a covered container, for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the leftovers! Place in a freezer safe ziptop bag, that you’ve labeled and dated, then freeze for up to 4-6 months.
