BBQ Turkey Meatloaves

Hubby and I agreed that our favorite mini meatloaf recipe is still the one from Cook Yourself Thin, however these were RAD too!  The veggies give great moisture to the leanest ground turkey and are complimented well with your favorite BBQ sauce.

It's kind of funny - they look like biscuits on the cookie sheet, but throw a little BBQ sauce on top and you get a more loafy look.

BBQ Turkey Meatloaves (adapted from allrecipes.com)
  • 1 finely chopped zucchini
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup uncooked couscous
  •  2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, or as needed
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place zucchini, onions, and red bell pepper into a food processor, and pulse several times until finely chopped but not liquefied. Place the vegetables into a bowl, and mix in ground turkey, couscous, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until thoroughly combined. Fill a 1/2 cup measuring cup with turkey mixture, dump out onto a cookie sheet that's been prepared with parchment paper, no-stick foil or cooking spray.
 
Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 25 minutes. Smear each loaf with BBQ sauce (amount as desired).
