Sun-Dried Tomato Mini Meat Loaves
Sun-Dried Tomato Mini Meat Loaves
Sun-dried tomatoes mix with ground turkey, onions and fresh herbs in these full-flavored, individually sized meat loaves. Avoid overworking the meat when mixing everything together because it will become more dense and heavier in taste.
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
1/4 cup boiling water
1 lb. extra-lean ground turkey
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup (2 oz.) freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sun-dried tomatoes and boiling water in small bowl. Cover; let stand 5 minutes or until soft. Remove tomatoes from bowl; cool. Squeeze out moisture; chop.
2. In large bowl, gently mix together sun-dried tomatoes, turkey, oats, cheese, eggs, onion, thyme, pepper and salt. Divide into 4 portions. Gently form each portion into loaf shape; place on baking sheet. Press 2 sage leaves onto top of each loaf; drizzle with oil.
3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until no longer pink in center and internal temperature reaches 170°F.
