Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup finely minced Yellow Onion
  • 1/4 cup finely minced Celery
  • 2 cloves minced Garlic
  • 2 pounds Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean or higher)
  • 1 Large Egg, lightly whisked
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon packed Brown Sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard (for glaze)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the 12 cups of the muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners for easy removal.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and celery and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic during the last minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whisked egg, Panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the moisture.
  4. Add the ground turkey, the cooled sautéed aromatics (onion, celery, garlic), and the chopped parsley to the bowl.
  5. Using your hands, gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this will make the meatloaves tough.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly into the 12 prepared muffin cups. Press gently to compact them slightly.
  7. Whisk together all Glaze ingredients (ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard) in a small bowl.
  8. Brush approximately half of the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the meatloaf muffins.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the tin from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the muffins. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is bubbling.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
