Turkey Meatloaf Muffin – Clean & Delicious®
Update: Because this has been such a popular recipe on my blog, I wanted to add a video for those who like to see the step-by-step. I have also taken the tips that many of you have left in the comments to add some extra moisture to the original recipe.
Often times I just loveto have a ‘no-brainer, fuel-focused meal’ that I can make ahead of time and turn to all week long for a quick on-the go-lunch or no-effort dinner.
There’s something nice about knowing there’s something waiting in my fridge that will give me the energy I need to get through the day AND taste great.
These Turkey Meatloaf Muffins are packed with high-protein ground turkey, fiber-filled oats, lots of veggies, and some egg whites for good measure.
I think it’s fair to say that these little guys are a lean and mean kind-of-muffin (perhaps they will help me grow my muscles!).
I found this recipe on BodyBuilding.com – they were created by fitness model and author, Jamie Eason. Jamie shares lots of her recipes (and videos) here and offers up lots of great tips and insights about healthy cooking. She really focuses on ‘food-for fitness’ so if your working on building a ‘buff-bod’, you definitely want to check her out!
The first time I made these muffins, I pretty much followed the recipe verbatim and they were delish. The only thing I wanted was a little more moisture. So this time around I tweaked a bit.
You can see the original recipe here. And my update version is listed below (and shown in the video).
I really love how portable these muffins are.
I just packed a couple up with some veggies and hummus and I had a quick-on-the go meal ready to go!!

My kids on the other hand LOVE when I top them with some marinara sauce and melted mozzarella (SO good!).

And I think my personal all-time favorite way to enjoy these muffins is crumbled on top of a crunchy kale and cabbage salad!

Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 chopped cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 lbs. ground turkey (I used 1.5lb. extra lean + .5 lb. dark)
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. ground chipotle pepper spice
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
Directions:
Pre heat oven to 375 and spray 12-cup muffin pan with some cooking spray (or coat with a little olive or coconut oil).
Heat a medium saute pan over a medium high heat and add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes until you have the raw edge off of the veggies. Stir in worcestershire sauce and chicken broth and cook another 5 minutes until all the veggies are tender and the mixture is heated through.
Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg whites, oats, cumin, chipotle spice, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Add in cooked veggies and mix together until everything is well incorporated.
Roll the mixture into 12 even balls and place each one in the muffin pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Cool and enjoy!
