Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
These Turkey Meatloaf Muffins are a great 30-minute meal prep recipe that you can serve at lunch or for dinner. This recipe is gluten-free and grain-free. These protein-rich muffins can be served in a variety of ways.
Meatloaf muffins are simply the ingredients of a meatloaf cooked in a muffin tin! It’s a faster way to get the great flavor and nutrition of a meatloaf, and it’s one of my favorite meal prep recipes.
To make this recipe healthier, I used ground turkey. I also swapped out breadcrumbs and used almond flour instead. These tasty meatloaf muffins are a fun bite-sized version of my Air Fryer Meatloaf or my Chicken Meatloaf.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Combine the ingredients for your muffins in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together.
Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.
Step Two
Divide the turkey mixture between the wells of your muffin tray. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step Three
Remove the muffins from the tray and serve hot.

- Because this recipe uses almond flour as a binder instead of traditional wheat flour, the muffins are grain-free, gluten-free, and keto-friendly, too.
- Lastly, the nutritional profile of these Turkey Meatloaf Muffins is pretty great, especially if you’re following a lower-carb, higher protein diet for weight loss or weight management.
