Turkey Veggie Meatloaf Cups

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped zucchini
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped onions
  • 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup uncooked couscous
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, or as needed

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 20 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  2. Place zucchini, onions, and red bell pepper into a food processor, and pulse several times until finely chopped but not liquefied. Place the vegetables into a bowl and mix in ground turkey, couscous, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until thoroughly combined.
  3. Fill each prepared muffin cup about 3/4 full. Top each cup with about 1 teaspoon of barbecue sauce.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of muffins should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.25 min timer
