Turkey Meatloaf Muffins

I can't pass up a good sale. Ground turkey was on sale a few weeks ago and I stocked up.

What a great opportunity to make some Meatloaf Muffins. I modified the Weight Watcher's recipe to what I had on-hand.

3 pounds ground turkey
2 boxes Stove Top stuffing (I had store brand and used that)
1 egg

Mix all ingredients together.

Scoop into muffin tins. I used my ice cream scoop and it turned out like giant meatballs. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

I like to make a whole bunch, stick 2 or 3 into snack-size baggies and put in the freezer. They make easy lunches or suppers for me--popping them straight from the freezer into my mini crock pot first thing in the morning (or early afternoon) and by lunch (or supper) it's defrosted and heated through. The same thing would work for a family, just package in family-sized meals.

Sometimes I make them with hamburger and sometimes make them for the toddlers, packaging them in toddler-sized meals.

Full of Flavor Turkey Burgers

I've always liked turkey burgers, but recently I found I LOVE turkey burgers with flavor. So far, my favorites are Grilled Honey Mustard Turkey Oat Burgers and Asian-Spiced Turkey Burgers.

I was lucky to find ground turkey on sale last week, so I picked up two packages. I made one batch of each type of burgers on my George Foreman Grill.

Five is the suggested amount of burgers in each recipe, but I got 8 out of each batch. I grilled them all up, then put in quart-sized Ziploc bags, one of each kind labeled with each type of burger and put them in the freezer.

In the photo above you can see behind my George Foreman grill, there is my line-up of mini crock pots. Since I just cook for myself most meals, what I will do with these burgers is to put one straight from the freezer in a mini crock pot about an hour or so before I want to eat it. It will be defrosted and warmed.

If I were to feed a family or my daycare toddlers, I would put as many frozen burgers as I needed in the crockpot for two or three hours. You could easily defrost and warm in the microwave, too.

Recently I had an Asian-Spiced burger on a Sandwich Thin with a squirt of ketchup, then Broccoli Slaw (available in the packaged salad department in the grocery store) with Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. It was so delicious and only 6 Weight Watcher's POINTS for the whole meal!
