RECIPE BY Southern Living

Shred the apple and onion using the large holes of a box grater. Cheese grits and a salad make the perfect complements.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup Japanese breadcrumbs (panko)*
  • 1 medium onion, shredded
  • 1 medium-size Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and shredded
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups (5 oz.) freshly shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Gently combine ground turkey, next 6 ingredients, and 1/2 cup cheese just until combined, using hands. Spoon turkey mixture into 12 lightly greased muffin cups.

Step 2

Bake at 375° for 16 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and a meat thermometer inserted into centers of meatloaves registers 165°.

Step 3

*Fine, dry breadcrumbs may be substituted.

Step 4

Mini Pesto-Turkey Meatloaves: Omit apple and pepper. Substitute mozzarella cheese for Cheddar cheese. Proceed with recipe as directed, stirring 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil and 3 Tbsp. refrigerated pesto into meat mixture in Step

Step 5

Note: For testing purposes only, we used Buitoni Pesto With Basil.

LOVE this one! I used a gala apple since that's what I had around. Super easy. Super fast.

I made the original recipe using the pesto and mozzarella, loved it. Now it is my recipe for turkey burgers and they are very flavorful. My neighbor also made the apple/cheddar version but liked the pesto/mozzarella better.

This is a delicious and easy recipe! Pair it with cornbread, that's my recommendation. I thought shredding the apple and onion was kind of challenging so next time I will just chop them. Regardless, the sweetness the apple adds is what makes this recipe one I will continue to make, especially over regular meatloaf!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I added some bacon and also used some fried onions and pretzels in place of the bread crumbs, and it was fantastic!

I thought this recipe was great. I used regular bread crumbs and 1/2 an onion. I will definitely make this again.
