Mini Turkey Meatloaves w/ Green Beans and Tater Tots

Dinner Tonight: Mini Turkey Meatloaves w/ Green Beans and Tater Tots





I just had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. A bit cool out there, about 32 degrees and even a wisp of snow. Only had a high in the 40's, thought Spring was here! After Breakfast I went to Meijer for some items that they on sale, stopped by the bank and back home for the day. House cleaning today; ran the vacuum and dusted. For dinner tonight I tried something new, Turkey Mini Meatloaves, I prepared Mini Turkey Meatloaves w/ Green Beans and Tater Tots.
 





I come across the Mini Meatloaves recipe in an issue of EatingWell Magazine sometime back and

just getting around to try it. To make the Mini Meatloaves I substituted the Ground Beef with Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, fewer calories, fat, and carbs. I also added Heinz 57 Sauce to the Hunt's Ketchup. So to make the dish I'll need; 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (divided), 1 pound Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 1 large Egg (lightly beaten), 1/4 cup finely chopped Onion, 1/4 cup Progresso Italian Style Breadcrumbs, 4 tablespoons Hunt's Ketchup (divided), 2 tablespoons Heinz 57 Sauce, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce.




To prepare it I preheated the oven to 425°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with Pam Cooking Spray.

Next combine turkey, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire and 1/4 teaspoon each garlic powder, salt and pepper in the large bowl. Form the mixture into 4 small loaves about 2 by 4 inches each and place on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl mix together the remaining 2 tablespoon ketchup and Heinz 57 Sauce,then  Brush the tops of the meatloaves with the sauce. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the meatloaves until a  instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaves registers 165°F, 20 to 30 minutes. The Mini Meatloaves came out incredible! They baked up perfectly with that excellent Meatloaf taste. And the Heinz 57 Sauce adds additional flavor along with Ketchup. Keeper Recipe!



The recipe calls for baking the Green Beans and using Potato Wedges. Instead I used a can of Del
Monte Low Sodium Cut Green Beans, that I prepared on the stove top, and baked some Ore Ida Mini tater Tots. Really enjoyed this Comfort Food Dinner tonight! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
