Mini Meatloaves

Here's a recipe from our Family Recipe book

that the boys enjoy.

The smaller size appeals to kids,

and grown-ups can use any leftovers to make meatloaf subs.

This recipe was adapted from a Sun Sentinel food article.

The original required an egg, which Lil' Guy can't have

due to allergies and 1 1/2 C shredded zucchini,

which he probably would like to be allergic to.  ;0)

Mini-Meatloaves

1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey

1/2 ground rice chips (or breadcrumbs)

1/2 t salt

1 t Italian herbs

1/2 onion, grated

1/4 C homemade gravy or ketchup

In large bowl, combine all ingredients

except ketchup (or gravy), mixing lightly.

Place about 1/3 C meat mixture into muffin cups,

pressing lightly. 

Spread gravy (tomato sauce) or ketchup on each.

Bake at 400 degrees 20 minutes.

Makes 8 mini loaves.

Enjoy!

***This is another recipe which can be made

in a toaster oven.  Especially in the summer, I try to use the range as little as possible, so I adapt many of our recipes

to accomodate this desire.***
