Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey (preferably lean but with some fat for flavor)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, packed)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and the two large eggs.
  • Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything gently but thoroughly. Don’t overmix to avoid a tough meatloaf.
  • Shape the mixture into 4 to 6 mini loaves about the size of your palm. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of each mini meatloaf for a classic sweet glaze.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
  • Let mini meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep them juicy and easier to handle.
