TURKEY MEATLOAF STUFFED WITH MAC & CHEESE

Category: POULTRY MAIN DISH

I made these one night because it just sounded good and because I had mac & cheese leftovers! I froze the leftovers and had ready made mini meat loafs ready to go at moments notice!
Serves 4-6
1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup mac & cheese-your choice
12 slices of bacon

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl add ground turkey, egg, onion & garlic powder and bread crumbs. Mix well but do not over work.

In a 6 well cup-cake pan criss-cross 2 slices of bacon in each well,with the ends hanging over outside the well.
Divide the turkey mixture into 6 portions.
Flatten each portion into a pattie.
Place a spoon of man & cheese in the center of each pattie.
Shape the pattie around the mac & cheese.
Like a stuffed meatball!
Make sure the mac & cheese is sealed inside so all the cheesey goodness stays inside!
Place each stuffed meat loaf into the cupcake well.
Fold the exposed ends of the bacon over each meat-loaf.
Bake uncovered on a cookie sheet for 35-45 minutes.
I put a slice of cheese over each meatloaf and melt it before serving.
You can also make a glaze of equal parts ketchup, mustard and brown sugar and brush each meatloaf with the glaze and bake.
They are yummy! Brings back memories of my childhood!
