turkey meatloaf muffins

Turkey Meatloaf Muffins are a quick and easy dinner idea for busy weeknights. I made these individual meatloaf muffins for a cancer patient who is on a low fiber/low residue diet. These meatloaf muffins are a good source of protein, and are relatively low in carbs. Meatloaf cooked in muffin tins is a great time saver, and also good for portion control. 165 calories/4 freestyle points per serving.

Meatloaf is one comfort food I enjoy. Although I didn’t grow up eating meatloaf, I discovered meatloaf when I was in college. One of my favorite meatloaf recipes is Balsamic Glazed Roasted Vegetable Meatloaf, which contain lots of veggies and my kids love.

However, for these Turkey Meatloaf Muffins, I did not include any vegetables because I made them for a cancer patient who is on a strict low fiber, low residue diet. She can have a limited amount of certain vegetables, but I opted to keep these meatloaf muffins plain and simple to be safe.

Making meatloaf in muffin tins is great for portion control, but also good when people have a limited appetite.

Although there are restrictions on what a person can have on a low residue diet, there are ways to add extra flavor. Since fresh onion and garlic are not permitted, I used onion powder and garlic powder. In addition, I infused the chicken broth with some fresh thyme (then strained out the thyme leaves).
