I like meatloaf, but I wanted to find a way to get more vegetables into our meals. I originally got the idea for this recipe from Hungry Girl, but I gave it a complete overhaul to make it processed free and add more veggies and flavors I liked. These are extremely light and tender with no hint of all the veggies inside. But, the best thing about them are the length of time it takes to cook and how cute they are.
1 small onion
12 oz. bag of broccoli cole slaw
1/2 green bell pepper
3 garlic cloves
1 8oz. tomato sauce or 1 cup marinara
1 lb. raw lean ground turkey
1/2 cup oat bran
2 eggs
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. sea salt
no-sugar ketchup (or homemade)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the onion, bell pepper, broccoli slaw, and garlic cloves in the food processor. Pulse until they are pureed. Pour into a mixing bowl and add all the other ingredients except the ketchup. Combine everything thoroughly with your hands or a spoon. Grease a muffin pan with coconut oil or line it with baking cups. Gently spoon in the meat mixture (it will fill about 15 muffin cups) and top each with about 1/2 tsp. of ketchup. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Wait 5 minutes before serving. I love these with a veggie side and a fresh salad.
