Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in hot oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic to vegetable mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season with salt and black pepper; remove from heat to cool.

03

Step

Mix turkey, beef, quinoa, milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, sweet chili sauce, and ground ginger together in a bowl until well-combined. Add sauteed vegetable mixture; stir until completely incorporated. Gradually add bread crumbs to meat mixture until mixture is moist and holds together. Form into 6 mini loves and place loaves on prepared baking sheet.

04

Step

Whisk brown sugar, ketchup, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved and glaze is smooth.

05

Step

Bake meat loaves in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spread glaze over each loaf and continue baking until no loaves are longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a finely diced carrot and celery stalk to the sautéed vegetables.
If you don’t have sweet chili sauce, a touch of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes will provide a similar kick.
To ensure even cooking, make sure the mini meatloaves are uniformly shaped.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
