Healthy Turkey Meatloaf Minis

I know for many kids meatloaf was the dreaded dinner they hated, but me I always liked it. A couple days ago the thought occurred to me when trying to brainstorm some new healthy dinner ideas that there must be a healthy way to do this using lean turkey meat. In typical fashion I set out to find existing recipes, all of which were completely different. I then asked my mom what she used to put in hers and went from there. I basically just winged it, took what I thought made sense from each recipe and this is what I came up with:

What you Need:

• 1.25 LBS Extra Lean Ground Turkey
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Walden Farms Ketchup (you can use regular if you want)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 onion
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder

To Prepare:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• The reason meatloaf is an easy meal is because you literally just throw all the ingredients in a bowl, mix it up and your ready
• Now I choose to cook these in a muffin tin so they would be proportioned and I was hoping they would cook faster this way (I don't think the second part worked out, oh well)
• Bake meatloaf minis for about an hour, but it could be more just check periodically, I ended up putting mine back in to cook longer several times
• Top with some reduced sugar ketchup and enjoy

Overall I think this is something I would make again, it was easy (just make sure you have plenty of time for it to bake), pretty healthy and high in protein and I thought it was quite yummy
