Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am craving comfort food and don’t mind turning on the oven. One of my favorite things to make when I have a bit of time is my individual meatloaf recipe.
My recipe is based on a Cooking Light meatloaf recipe, but I like to make individual meatloaves because they cook faster and more evenly.
Individual Meatloves
- YIELD: 6 individual meatloaves (6 Servings)
- PREP: 15 mins
- COOK: 35 mins
- READY IN: 50 mins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup baby portabello mushrooms diced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup barbeque sauce
- 1/4 cup egg subsitute (or 2 egg whites)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Prepare diced onion.
- Prepare diced mushrooms.
- Place meat and all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl and blend well.
- Fold in onion and mushrooms and blend well.
- Form into individual meatloaves and top with a dollop of barbeque sauce.
- Bake at 400F for 35 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked.
While mashed potatoes is a traditional side dish for meatloaf, I like to make mashed cauliflower–not as a diet “trick,” but because I really like them!
My “recipe” couldn’t be easier: I microwave steam-in-bag frozen cauliflower according to the package directions, let it sit for a few minutes to make sure the cauliflower is thoroughly cooked, and then use my immersion blender to “mash” it. You could season it with milk and butter, but I usually just add salt and pepper.
Are you craving comfort food these days?
Do you have an immersion blender?

i love the idea of individual meatloaf!! and it would keep my husband from eating half of the pan at once! haha
OK I NEED TO RETRY the mashed cauliflower.
I never make it “right” and it NEVER RESEMBLES mashed taters even remotely.
Maybe Amanda’s tip would help it have more of a mashed potato texture, but it’s not going to have the same taste. 😉
love doing the cauliflower, but seasoning with garlic salt and onion powder. For those who can do dairy a little bit of greek yogurt really helps make them seem like potatoes!
What an awesome idea. Definitely bookmarking this post for a future meal 🙂
I love mini meatloaves. I haven’t made that in a while. Might be time to break it out.
I’m going to try this! I’ve never had a meatloaf recipe that I really like but this one looks good!!!
It’s good and easy! Let me know if you like it.
OMG totally yummmmmm!!!! I can smell these delicious loaves through my computer screen! ha ha! 😉
I love doing mini meatloafs, for the same reason! I usually put spinach in mine, to help boost a little greens. I can not for the life of me get on board with mashed cauliflower but I’d be willing to try (again…) thanks 🙂
My son would revolt if I tried to sneak anything green into his burger, but that might work for my husband when he’s not around!
I’m not much of a meatloaf fan but the mashed cauliflower is one of my favorite things. Yum!
All of it looks delicious! I’m all about the comfort foods, my friend. Gotta stock up my stomachs for the winter.
My husband would love this! He is a big meatloaf fan and I often make them in muffin tins.
I do love how easy it is to spicy up your meat! BBQ is so good in meatloaf. Thanks for sharing your recipe and for linking up the recipefriday 🙂
