You will see in a recipe coming soon but lately I’ve been loving meatloaf. I am always looking for quick and easy protein sources that I can make for the week and then grab and go throughout the chaos of my week. These muffins are perfect for this. Not only are they protein packed but they travel well. All I have to do is throw a couple in a cooler along with some fruit or veggies and I’ve got lunch, dinner, or snack on the go. Perfect. You can play around with flavors and veggies to mix in and get creative. They are delicious any way you make them!

Good idea! I always have almonds and pistachios in my purse, or I’ll grab some tuna or protein powder.
That’s a great idea! I love keeping a single serving packet of protein with me!
Meatloaf is one of my favorites too. I never think of adding veggies though!
I find the veggies make it taste better for some reason and the turkey doesn’t dry out as much if you use the lean kind.
I have a couple of very similiar recipes, but it’s been awile since I’ve made these. I want to give your recipe a try! My go-to protein, as boring as it sounds, is probably grilled chicken breast. I usually always have a rotisserie chicken or already cooked chicken strips ready to add to a salad or a wrap.
I love having rotisserie on hand too. So convenient!
I love meatloaf too! I made turkey muffins one time last year but I really messed them up, so I haven’t tried making them since haha. I’ll have to give these a try! My favourite protein to go is Greek yogurt.
Hope you like these better!
This is such a good idea! I used to hate meatloaf as a kid (my mom made the worst hamburger meatloaf haha) but I think I could handle turkey meatloaf. It’d be awesome for topping a salad.
It would be great crumbled on top of salad!
What a good idea! I’m always looking for more protein!
Me too! I can never get enough in!
these look great for lunch at work. My son wouldn’t like the bits of zuchinni though — maybe I could find something less colorful!
They would definitely work without the zucchini too!
Yum! Sounds so good – and portable! I’ve made a similar recipe with chicken. Always a winner.
Glad you like them Katelyn!
Love how you snuck zucchini in there. Anyway to up the veggie content!
Exactly
yum! what a great idea!
Thanks Kaitlin!
Love turkey muffins!!!
I have yet to make any kind of turkey muffins, but they sound fantastic and definitely seem like a great grab-and-go protein source. I usually just opt for some grilled chicken or Greek yogurt if I’m on the run.
I love Greek yogurt on the go. No prep necessary!
YUM! These look fantastic! My husband made similar ones in November for Thanksgiving. I think anything in muffin form in delish!
I totally agree!
Yum, yum, yum, in my TUM TUM TUM!!!!! I need to purchase a muffin tin, ASAP so I can throw back a few of these TURK MUFFINS!!!!
I am currently obsessed with turkey too… Oh wait, always have been, lol!
You definitely need a muffin tin!
These are such a great idea, especially when you need to be on the go and protein can be hard to come by, or you don’t want to rely on protein powder! I love my turkey!
Me too! So glad you like the recipe
That cheesy rice looks amazing!! Have you/will you be sharing the recipe anytime soon??
My favorite protein on the go is probably almonds. So convenient and so tasty!!
Yes the recipe will be up within the next two weeks
These are AWESOME!! Love the fact that they are the perfect grab n go type of meal.
I’m always looking for something I can take or pack with me!
Danielle these are SOOO me! Love them especially with the Worcester (spelling…?) sauce. Just a ton of major yums. For portable protein I love to pack greek yogurt cups and also turkey bacon strips!
So happy you like them! I had to look up the spelling for that one too no clue how to spell it!
I love the idea of adding almond flour to meatloaf! I’ve found that gluten free meatloaf just isn’t the same without breadcrumbs. Can’t wait to try these!
My favorite to-go protein is definitely chicken breast because it’s easy to eat and doesn’t stink up classrooms! ;-p
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Danielle! xoxo <3
So happy you like the recipe Sara!
