Glazed Mini Turkey Meatloaf Dinner

What You’ll Need to make Glazed Mini Turkey Meatloaf Dinner

• Ground Turkey – We use two pounds of 93% lean ground turkey.The 99% lean ground turkey has less fat and can result in meatloaves that are less moist.

• Oats – We use Old Fashioned Oats for this recipe but you can use rolled oats, or instant oats instead.

• Pantry Staples & Spices – Ketchup, ground marjoram, kosher salt, ground black pepper.

• Onion – We use one small yellow onion, about 1 cup, chopped or diced. White onions, sweet onions, red onions, or even shallots may be used instead.

• Egg – One large egg, white or brown.

• Worcestershire Sauce – We love using this to add a depth of flavor to the glaze but if you don’t have any, you can use soy sauce, coco aminos or balsamic vinegar instead.

• Brown Sugar – We use light brown sugar. You can also use dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.

• Fresh Green Beans & Baby Carrots – These vegetables roast well in the 15 minute time frame for this dinner.

• Olive Oil – We use extra virgin olive oil but any olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or canola oil may be used for this recipe.

• Fresh Garlic – 2-3 cloves peeled and minced, about one teaspoon.

How to make Glazed Mini Turkey Meatloaf Dinner

With less saturated fat, ground turkey is a great alternative to red meat. These little meatloaves are the perfect size and stay moist and tender.

Baked with a sweet glaze and surrounded by tender crisp veggies, this is a delicious and easy family weeknight meal.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Place the oats into a small food processor and pulse 5-6 times.

The oats help the meatloaves stay moist and do not affect the flavor at all. Pulsing them in the food processor helps them mix in easier.

In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey, pulsed oats, 1/4 cup ketchup, diced onion, egg, marjoram and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined.

Divide into 6 even portions and then form each one into a small football shaped loaf. Place each mini meatloaf onto the prepared sheet pan, leaving room between.

In a small bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and remaining ketchup to create a glaze.

Brush generously over loaves. Place the loaves into the preheated oven on the middle rack and cook for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F.

While the mini turkey meatloaves are cooking, in a large bowl, combine green beans, carrots, olive oil, minced garlic, remaining kosher salt and ground black pepper.

Toss until the vegetables are well coated.

Once the loaves have cooked for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully (the pan is hot!) spread the seasoned vegetables evenly around the loaves on the sheet pan.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender and the loaves are cooked through.

They should register at least 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

Serve immediately, slicing mini meatloaves and dividing the vegetables between servings. Enjoy!
