I am proud of myself! I have been working on building my Recipe
Binder and in doing so I have found a ton of recipes that I just had to
try.
Earlier this week I shared a cookie recipe that was an instant hit in my house and now it is time to share a Main
Course with you.
Just like the other family approved meal from
Skinnytaste – Cheeseburger Casserole – this fun Meatloaf recipe is also now a
family favorite!
Jude adores Meatballs so I thought his fun take
on Meatloaf would be a hit at the dinner table!
I was right!! Jude called these
cupcakes, Meatballs but I don’t care because he ate it up quickly and I love
that while he thought he was eating a Meatball he also ate some onions, zucchini
and carrots! Mommy SCORE!!!
Enjoy and have fun!
Ingredients: For the Meatloaf
Cupcakes:
1.3
lb 93% lean ground turkey
1 cup grated zucchini, all moisture squeezed out
½ cup grated carrot, all moisture
squeezed out
2 tbsp onion, minced
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup ketchup
1 egg
1 tsp kosher salt
For
the Skinny Mashed Potato “Frosting”:
1
lb (about 2 medium) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 large garlic
cloves, peeled and halved 2 tbsp fat free sour cream 2 tbsp fat free chicken
broth 1 tbsp skim milk 1/2 tbsp light butter Salt and Pepper to Taste 2 tbsp
fresh thyme
Directions:
Put the potatoes and garlic in a large pot with salt and enough water to cover;
bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes
are tender. Drain and return potatoes and garlic to pan. Add sour cream and
remaining ingredients. Using a masher or blender, mash until smooth. Season with
salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a muffin tin with foil liners.
In a large bowl, mix the turkey, zucchini, carrot, onion, breadcrumbs, ketchup,
egg, and salt. Place meatloaf mixture into muffin tins filling them to the top,
making sure they are flat at the top.
Bake uncovered for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from
tins and place onto a baking dish.
Pipe the “frosting” onto the meatloaf cupcakes and
serve.
