Mini Turkey Meatloaf Muffins With Mashed Potatoes

This post may contain affiliate links and/or images. My mini turkey meatloaf muffins with mashed potatoes are one of my favorite comfort foods. It reminds me of my Gram’s meatloaf. She had a knack for making it so moist and flavorful that you would slap your mamma because it was that good!

recipes from my Gram and made them healthier. I have tweaked my Gram’s meatloaf recipe and created my mini turkey meatloaf muffins with mashed potatoes.

Instead of ground beef, we use turkey. I also use other healthy swaps than you would use in a traditional meatloaf recipe. I promise you will still get all those flavors just without the extra calories.
