Oh my, these are so good! And super easy to put together! I did not have a muffin pan (long story involving a crayon experiment, hey I am a mom too!) So I just put heaping mounds of the mixture on a cookie sheet and it worked out marvey-pooh. So here's the recipe:
1.25 pounds ground turkey (I use 93/7)
1 large green bell pepper (or any color), diced
1 medium purple onion, diced
1 egg
Mix together and make 8 mounds of "meatloaf muffins" either on your cookie sheet or in your muffin pan (that has not been ruined by a crayon experiment.)
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Remove to paper towels to soak up any excess renderings from cooking.
Top with some low-sugar ketchup, or go western and add a little BBQ sauce, or Mexican and add salsa! I could go on.....oh! And you can add other veggies too! Like maybe shredded carrots and shredded zucchini? Then top with marinara? Oh and wouldn't these be so yummy "frosted" with a bit of whipped potato???

(ok, so what if I eat TWO at a time, it's just so YUM!)
