Not Your Mother's Meatloaf

This is an all-time favorite of mine. Make em, freeze em in baggies and nuke em fast for lunch! YUMMMMMM

Not Your Mother's Meatloaf - Laura Creavelle, M&F July 2004

15-16 oz extra lean ground turkey (I used purdue 99% fat-free)
3 tbsp yellow cornmeal
1/2c minced onion
1/4c egg substitute (or 2 egg whites)
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3/4 tsp salt
1/2c mild or hot salsa (your pick!) salsa verde is good, too!
nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 4 large muffin cups with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix together everything but the salsa. Mix well. Divide mixture into four equal amounts, place in prepared muffin cups. Bake 20 - 25 minutes, until done (thermometer should read 165).
Serve topped with 1 tbsp salsa.

This recipe is very tasty, not as spicy as it sounds and is good over rice. Place the mini-loaves in seperate baggies with 1/2 to 1 cup rice and you have made 4 meals for the coming week

  1. Made these in bulk tonight - so tasty and easy! and per serving, very inexpensive.

    To make 24 servings at once (bakes in two batches unless you have a convection oven):

    In a very large bowl, combine:

    6 lbs lean ground turkey
    3 medium/large onions, grated/chopped finely in food processor
    1c plus 2 tbsp cornmeal
    2-3 medium jalapenos, seeded and minced finely
    6 eggs or 1 1/2c egg substitute or 12 egg whites
    4 1/2 tsp sea salt
    3c salsa of choice

    spray 2 - 12 muffin tins with cooking spray.

    Mix it all very thoroughly by hand or wooden spoon... distribute equally into muffin tins and bake each tin 35 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
