Italian Turkey Mini Meatloaves

Another long day of classes bllaaahhh. But at least I have my co-op all worked out. My part time job working at a psychiatrist office will count as my co-op if I work 350 hours this year there. Woot!

This recipe I starting making in July of 2007 and haven't changed it much since. It is a real pleaser here. I normally skip the cheese on mine, but my mom looovves provolone so always add extra on her meatloaf like in this picture.




Italian Turkey Mini Meatloaves


Ingredients
1 lb lean ground turkey breast
1 small onion, diced
1/2-1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/3 cup spaghetti sauce, plus
2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce
1 egg
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and spray a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2. mix the ground turkey, diced onion, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup spaghetti sauce, the egg, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and Italian seasoning.
3. Place meat mixture in muffin tins or form into small loafs
4. Put 2 tablespoons of remaining spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese or provolone like I used.
5. Bake for 20 or until done.
6. I have also frozen the left over and re heated later with good results still.
Ease of execution: 9/10
Taste: 9/10
Health: 8/10 (without all of the cheese)
