Ingredients
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup bread and butter pickles, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 1/2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, cubed into 24 (1/2-inch) cubes
1 cup store-bought crispy fried onions, crushed
Step 1
Combine
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, the cooked quinoa, chopped pickles, garlic, ketchup, mustard, the beaten egg, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Step 2
Spoon
Spray a 24 cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture into each cup. Press a cube of cheddar cheese into in the center of the turkey. Spoon another tablespoon of turkey over the cheese and press to cover.
Step 3
Sprinkle
Sprinkle crushed fried onions over the tops of the turkey meatloaf cups.
Step 4
Bake & Serve
Place the muffin tin into a pre-heated 350°F oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until turkey is cooked through and the fried onion topping is browned. Turkey is done when it feels firm to the touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F.
TIP
TIP: Freeze food in serving sizes. Use 1-quart plastic containers or zip-lock freezer bags. This allows foods to freeze quickly, avoid freezer burn and to defrost only what you need.
