Mini sheet pan meatloaves, drizzled with Sriracha BBQ Sauce over cauliflower mash and steamed green beans
Creator: Leslie Stokes
How cute are these mini meatloaves?
You can totally make a big meat loaf or even make these in muffin trrays, but I love these little individual serving meatloaves. I just bake them on a small sheet pan.
Ingredients:
- ground turkey
- egg
- breadcrumbs
- shredded zucchini– this helps the meatloaf from drying out and adds some extra veggies!
- salt + pepper
- paprika
- bbq sauce
- sriracha
- green beans
- cauliflower rice
- milk
- butter or oil

How do you make cauliflower mash?
Cauliflower mash is actually soooo easy!
I just use frozen cauliflower rice, heat it up, add milk, butter + seasonings and blend it up with and immersion blender!
You can obviously do a potato or anything else you want, but I just really love meatloaf + mashed poatoes and wanted to give this meal a healthier twist!
Tips for this Meal Prep
I prepared this meal with the Apple + Cheese + Ham Breakfast Sandwiches! I was able to make both of these meals in less than an hour, here’s how I did it-
- I started by shredding the zucchini and making the meatloaf mixture
- I placed the meatloaf into the oven and cracked the eggs into the tray. I placed the eggs into the oven underneath the meatloaf. It’s ok to cook these at the same time at cuch a high temperature because the eggs will not cook as fast at the bottom, just keep an eye on them!
- while the eggs and meatloaf were cooking I cooked the cauliflower and green beans.
- about the time i was done mashing the caulflower, the meatloaf was ready. I let that cool down while I toasted the english muffins + apples.
- I put the meatloaf away while the sandwiches cooled down.
- I started the clean up and then put away the sandwiches
that’s it!
I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social meadia for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
