Mexican Meatloaf Patties

ground turkey, meatloaf, mexican

I saw this recipe and thought it sounded great.  Instead of a whole meatloaf, I made individual meatloaves as my favorite part of a meatloaf is the outer crust.  I also increased the meat to 20 oz instead of 1 lb as my ground turkey comes in a 20 oz container and I was lazy.  I left the other ingredients in the same amount.

I left out the onion as I hate onion and I added corn for some bulk.  Next time I think I would add some garlic powder.  These were great but could have used a little more “spice”.  I think they would also be good with some shredded zucchini mixed in.

Mexican Meatloaf Patties

20 oz lean ground turkey
2 large egg whites
2 oz cornbread stuffing dry mix
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz canned green chili peppers, diced
2/3 cup corn
8 oz canned enchilada sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix turkey, egg whites, stuffing mix, spices, chilies, corn and half of enchilada sauce together. Divide mixture into 6 portions. Shape each portion into an oval with your hands and place on prepared broiler pan. Bake for 40minutes, then top each patty with remaining enchilada sauce and bake for 5 minutes more.
