Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup (finely diced) Onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Optional ketchup for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line with silicone liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and panko breadcrumbs. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.

Step 3

Add the egg, ground turkey, finely diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 4

Divide the mixture evenly among 8 muffin cups, pressing it lightly into each cup to form mini loaves.

Step 5

If desired, spread a small amount of additional ketchup (about 1 teaspoon per loaf) on top of each mini loaf for a glaze.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the mini loaves from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
