Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients for Meatloaf Muffins:
1 package (~1.25 pounds) 99% fat-free ground turkey breast
1 slice whole wheat or multigrain bread (I used Milton’s Multi-Grain) or ½ cup store bought bread crumbs.
1 cup onions, finely diced
1 egg, I used Egg-Land’s Best eggs
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce or your favorite
¼ teaspoon salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Ingredients for Topping:
⅓ cup Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce or your favorite
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. To make bread crumbs: Toast 1 slice whole wheat or multigrain bread. Place in blender and pulse until made into crumbs.
3. In a large bowl, add ground turkey, bread crumbs, onions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup barbecue sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands or a large spoon, thoroughly mix together until well blended.
4. Add meatloaf mixture to the top of each muffin cup, flattening out the tops. Top each meatloaf muffin with ¾ tablespoon barbecue sauce and spread evenly over top.
5. Bake for 40 minutes. Run a knife around each muffin to loosen it from pan. Remove to a serving plate.
Makes 9 meatloaf muffins (1-2 muffins per serving)
Shopping Tips
I love Milton’s Multi-Grain bread and used it to make the bread crumbs. It’s sold in most supermarkets and Trader Joe’s.
Sweet Baby Rays is such a delicious barbecue sauce. You’ll find it in most supermarkets where other barbecue sauces are sold.

[...] Using lean ground turkey keeps the calories and fat down but don’t worry these meaty muffins score high on flavor. The Sweet Baby Ray’s Original BBQ sauce adds a nice smokey taste and a little sweetness. Even hubby Tom who isn’t a huge fan of ground turkey was pleased with these for dinner. This recipe was found at Skinny Kitchen. [...]

This meatloaf muffins sound awesome. I want to make them so bad. I have one question? What size muffin pan? Mini or regular size? And do you fill it to the top? Thank you for this recipe and your help.
December 27th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
I used a regular 12-cup muffin pan. They look smaller than a muffin since they don’t rise at all. I hope you enjoy them Diane!!!

Made these tonight after finding the recipe at work. Had a long workout and wanted something easy. This couldn’t be simpler and I love the portion ease of it all. Now i can freeze them or take to work for a quick lunch. Thanks for a great and tasty idea !
