Tara's Turkey Mini-Meatloaf
Biggest Loser season 7 all-star Tara Costa's favorite ranch recipe.
Per Meatloaf: 110 Calories, 1g Fat, 25mg Cholesterol, 180mg Sodium, 6g Carbohydrates, 16g Protein, <1g Fiber
Yield: Serves 9
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, coarsely chopped
- 2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 (20-ounce) package JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® lean ground turkey breast
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- 2 egg whites
For Topping
- 1/4 cup fat free and sugar free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (such as Splenda® Brand)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine onion, carrots and celery. Pulse until finely chopped. Add chipotle peppers and pulse until just combined.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the pepper and vegetable mixture. Add egg whites and oats; gently mix until combined. Place about 1/3 cup of the prepared meatloaf mixture into 9 wells of a standard size muffin pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Remove meat loaves from oven and spoon the topping over each meatloaf. Return meatloaf to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until meatloaf is firm and the internal temperature registers 170°F. Let meatloaf stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 9 mini loaves.

Loved it, I love spice, so i kicked it up with a pinch of mild hatch green chili powder, served it with mashed sweet potatoes, and roasted brussel sprouts!

We LOVED them! Will Definitely be making these again! I didn't use the peppers only because I was out but I added a tbs of Paprika to the recipe (which I doubled)& it tasted great.

+FANTASTIC! The sauce added at the end is just a little too spicy for me, but other than that it was the best meatloaf I've ever made. Highly recommend. I will definitely make this regularly.

-Too oniony, tone that down and a bit spicy. Kind of an odd taste if you ask me.

+I'm making this for dinner this week and I'm just curious what you all served the dish with?

+Best recipe ever! Make this for my family all the time now, it's a big hit! Sometimes if I don't have time to make it with the mexican flair, I'll just use the ground turkey and a packet of dry onion soup mix, and those turn out great too. Thanks for the idea Tara, and congrats on all your success!

This was easily the best recipe I've ever made. It was delish! In response to another posted comment: You don't use two cans of chipotle peppers, you use two canned peppers....that means you have to use 2 peppers from the can and save the rest or discard them. It was yummy!

I'm not sure if I did it right but I put 1 whole can of the chipotle pepppers in the mix. Does anyone know if that was right or was I supposed to put both cans in? Anyway, as it was already it was way too HOT/SPICY for me. I couldn't even enjoy them. Any modification advice?
