cheesy turkey meat loaf minis


I love my Cooking Light magazines. This recipe was in the February edition, and it ROCKS! It's healthy and flavorful, my husband kept asking me if it was really ground turkey because it tastes just like beef! Try it, you won't be disappointed :).


Ingredients:
cooking oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup ketchup, divided
3 ounces white cheddar cheese, diced (I used Pepperjack)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (I just used about a tsp of dried parsley)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dijon mustard
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1.5 lbs ground turkey (or ground sirloin)
1 large egg, lightly beaten


Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2.) Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic, saute 3 minutes.
3.) Combine onion mixture, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup ketchup, and remaining ingredients.
4.) Shape into 6 (4 x 2 inch) loaves and place on a pan coated with cooking spray. 
{I like to put aluminum foil on top of a baking sheet, then a cooling rack on top of the aluminum foil, and then spray it all with cooking spray, so the aluminum foil catches any fat drippings and the meatloaves don't sit in it!}
5.) Spread 2 teaspoons of ketchup over each meatloaf. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until done.
