Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 pound ground turkey (93/7)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with parchment squares.

- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and the cooked peppers and onions. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, shaping into mini loaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, chili sauce, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
- Spoon the glaze over the tops of each mini loaf.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef or chicken for turkey.
- Mini meatloaves freeze well; reheat in the oven for best texture.
- Great served with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness without overcooking.
