Ingredients

• Ground turkey: I prefer turkey meatloaf bites, but ground beef works just as well. If you use beef be sure to adjust your calorie and point calculations.
• Whole wheat crackers: Cracker crumbs are used to hold the meat mixture together. Be sure to use whole wheat crackers if you follow the 21 Day Fix.
• Eggs: Eggs help to bind the mini meatloaf bites together.
• Seasonings: I use onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to season the meatloaf mixture.
• Coconut aminos: Coconut aminos add a great flavor to this dish. If you don’t have, or can’t find, coconut aminos you can use low sodium Worcestershire or soy sauce. You can learn more about coconut aminos here.
• Tomato sauce: I use low sodium tomato sauce to make the meatloaf sauce.
• Tomato paste: Tomato paste helps to thicken the sauce.
• Honey: Honey is one of my favorite sugar substitutes. It goes through less processing than white or brown sugar does and has trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. 
• Broth:Use low sodium beef or chicken broth, or plain water if you’re not cooking string beans.
• String beans: Use fresh, trimmed and cut string beans.
• Salt and pepper: Add salt and pepper to taste.

Instant Pot Mini Turkey Meatloaves

1. In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients. Once the meatloaf is mixed, fill each well of your silicone egg bite mold.
2. Cover the molds of meatloaves with foil or a heat resistant silicone food cover and place the egg bite molds on top of each other so they are off center and the cups aren’t resting over each other.
3. Add the beef broth and string beans to the inner Instant Pot.
4. Carefully place the trivet of mini meatloaf on top of the string beans.
5. Close the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
6. Pressure cook on high pressure using the manual setting for 35 minutes.
7. While the meatloaves are cooking, mix together in a small bowl your sauce ingredients and set aside.
8. When the cook time is done, release the pressure using the quick release method.
9. Remove the molds of meatloaves from the trivet and the string beans from your Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
10. Take the meatloaves out of the silicone egg mold and arrange them on a baking sheet. Pour the tomato sauce mixture on top of each mini meatloaf.
11. Place the baking sheet in the oven, under broil, for 3-5 minutes. Just long enough for the sauce to set.
12. Let the meatloaves rest for a couple minutes and then serve with the string beans.

Making these Mini Meatloaf Bites in the Oven

1. In a large bowl mix together all the meatloaf ingredients. Fill silicone cups or a cupcake pan with the meatloaf mix.
2. Mix together the sauce and spoon over the meatloaves. Cover with foil.
3. Bake the mini meatloaves at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Meatloaf Bites in the Slow Cooker

1. In a large bowl mix together all the meatloaf ingredients. Using the red container or 3/4 cup measuring cup (for two mini meatloaves), measure out the mini meatloaves and arrange in the slow cooker insert.
2. Mix together the sauce and pour it over the meatloaves in the slow cooker.
3. Cover and cook on high heat for 4-5 hour or low heat for 6-7 hours.
