Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 3/4 cup Muir Glen™ organic tomato basil pasta sauce

Steps

    Add onion, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, rosemary, turkey, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each). Top each with 1 tablespoon pasta sauce and 1 slice pancetta, formed into a round to cover. Placed pan on rack below muffin pan to catch any drippings. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads at least 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes.

    To freeze: Line muffin cups with paper baking cups before filling with mixture. Top with sauce and pancetta. Freeze unbaked meat loaves until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer meat loaves to large resealable freezer plastic bag; freeze up to 3 months. To bake, remove paper baking cups; spray muffin cups with cooking spray, and place meat loaves in muffin cups. Cover with plastic wrap; thaw in refrigerator overnight or until completely thawed. Remove plastic wrap; bake as directed.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    For faster preparation, roughly chop onion, bell pepper, carrot, garlic and rosemary, then pulse in food processor until finely chopped.
  • tip 2
    Can’t find thinly sliced pancetta? Place pancetta in freezer for 10 minutes before slicing, and use a serrated knife for easy slicing.
