Mini Buffalo Turkey Meatloaf

Ingredients:

• A quarter of an onion, coarsely chopped
• 3 carrots (1 coarsely chopped, 2 grated)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 700 g lean ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons Buffalo hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets
• 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup blue cheese dressing

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 230°C.
2. Combine the onion, chopped carrot, and garlic in a food processor and chop finely; transfer to a large bowl. Add the ground turkey, egg, panko breadcrumbs, milk, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands. On a rimmed baking sheet, form four oval patties, 2 cm thick.
3. Bake the patties until they are firm and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C), 20 to 25 minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine melted butter with the remaining 1/3 cup hot sauce. Brush the tops of the meatloaf with half the sauce, then return to the oven and bake until the sauce is set, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining sauce.
5. Transfer the meatloaf to plates. Toss the broccoli, shredded carrots, and celery with the blue cheese dressing and serve with the meatloaf.
