Jamie Eason's Turkey Meatloaf Muffins are a high-protein, low-fat twist on classic meatloaf that's perfect for meal prep or a quick, healthy dinner. These lean turkey muffins are packed with shredded zucchini for added moisture, quick oats for texture, and a bold blend of seasonings like chili powder, garlic, and oregano to enhance every bite. Baked in a convenient muffin tin, they come together in just under an hour and are perfectly portioned for grab-and-go meals. Whether served fresh out of the oven or prepped in advance for busy days, these savory muffins are a nutritious, flavorful solution for anyone seeking a balanced, protein-packed recipe.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lightly greasing each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, and quick oats.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Add it to the mixture.
Stir in the onion, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using a spoon or your hands, divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing it down lightly to fill each cup completely.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through and the tops are slightly browned.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve immediately or allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
