Gluten Free Recipe: Tara's Turkey Mini-Meatloaf

Tara's Turkey Mini-Meatloaf


Ingredients For Meat Loaf:

1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped

1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 stalk of celery, coarsely chopped

2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
    (Tara is kaaaarazy! This was hot.  I suggest using 1 can ONLY).

1 (20-ounce) package lean ground turkey breast

1/2 cup quick cooking oats
    (I know this ain't gluten free, but just go with it this once)

2 egg whites


For Topping:

1/4 cup fat free and sugar free ketchup

1 tablespoon chipotle pepper adobo sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (such as Splenda® Brand)

Side-Bustin': This shit was hot.  So I'd just cut out the sugar and Chipotle's and use tomatoe paste with italian seasoning.

Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine onion, carrots and celery. Pulse until finely chopped. Add chipotle peppers and pulse until just combined. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the pepper and vegetable mixture. Add egg whites and oats; gently mix until combined. Place about 1/3 cup of the prepared meatloaf mixture into 9 wells of a standard size muffin pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.


Meanwhile, combine all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Remove meat loaves from oven and spoon the topping over each meatloaf. Return meatloaf to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until meatloaf is firm and the internal temperature registers 170°F. Let meatloaf stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 9 mini loaves.
