Description
This turkey meatloaf muffins recipe is simple to make, delicious and so fun to eat. The meatloaf glaze melts over the muffins with perfection!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground turkey (85/15 will be more juicy, but 93/7 is good too)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces of white sandwich bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
For the Meatloaf Glaze
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously spray a 12 count muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Start by chopping up the onion and parsley.
- In a medium sized bowl, add the sandwich bread and pour the milk over the slices. Allow this to soak for a few minutes, then pinch up the mixture. It looks kind of like mush and that's totally fine.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, add in the ground turkey. Then add in the egg, sandwich bread and milk mixture, onion, parsley, minced garlic, panko bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Use your hands to incorporate the mixture together. We do NOT want to over mix the mixture or it will result in a drier texture. Just mix enough to blend ingredients together.
- Using a large cookie scooper or your hands, make large balls of the mixture and transfer them one by one into the muffin pan. Set aside and make the meatloaf glaze.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire.
- At this point, separate 1/3 of the mixture into a small bowl to use at the end of cooking. Set aside. Since we will dipping a brush onto raw meat, I like to reserve a safe batch because I need more sauce at the end. I like it saucy!
- Using the original glaze bowl, dunk a brush into the glaze and really lather it over the meatloaf muffins. Use it all up.
- Bake the muffins at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Pull out from the oven, and add the remaining glaze. Pop back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- At the end of cooking, check it with a meat thermometer to be sure it has reached 160 degrees.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before serving. YUMMY!!!
Notes
Important: Bake the muffins on a top rack and put a cookie sheet on the lower rack. This will catch any of the fat that drips over, or the glaze. It shouldn't be too much, but I don't want it on the bottom of your oven.
