Quick and Easy Meatloaf

OK lets be honest, where i come from, Scotland, we do not have meatloaf. When i see it on a menu here in the US i avoid it, i have heard so many weird and wonderful stories about it that it scares me. then my friend posted her Tuesday tip - Easy Meatloaf. I read the ingredients, all things we ate, what was my problem, so i thought what the heck, better just give it a go! My family, and I loved it! So i thought i had better share, with my fellow mummies who read this blog, Enjoy.

Meatloaf

The recipe is great and the ingredients things most will have, and you can add to it. She likes to use Ground Turkey breast and as many healthy and organic ingredients as possible. Her final tip is to cook it in Muffin tins. Just put your meatloaf filling in the muffin tin using a scoop and you have individual sized portions for you and your family in 25 minutes.

1lb ground turkey breast

splash of milk for moistness

squeeze of organic ketchup or 3/4 cup tomato sauce

handful of breadcrumbs or dried quick cooking oats are a wonderful addition

1 egg

handful of feta cheese or grated cheddar cheese

handful of Romano cheese (you could use Parmesan, we only use Romano here)

pinch of dried parsley, oregano, and basil

1 clove of fresh garlic minced

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees,
• Use cooking spray to coat muffin tin.
• Mix together well in a bowl.
• Feel free to use your hands.
• Then scoop into the muffin tin.

Other additions that go well with the turkey meatloaf base (just add in when mixing):

*Chopped baby spinach, sundried tomatoes, feta, red bells

*sauteed vegetables such as onions, carrots, and bell peppers
