Mini Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaves are packed with fresh and zesty Mediterranean flavors, and made in under 30 minutes!

File Mini Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaves under the creaveable section of your recipe binder because, despite being made with 99% fat-free turkey breast, they are juicy, tender, and PACKED with flavor!

Each mini turkey meatloaf is studded with salty kalamata olives and feta cheese then slathered with hummus before baking to keep them super juicy. Topped with a fresh salsa containing parsley, tomato, cucumber, and basil, this re-imagined meatloaf is anything but boring,

Healthy and quick enough to make any night of the week, too!

Start the Mini Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaves by adding 1 egg and 2 Tablespoons hummus to 1lb ground turkey breast. You can use whatever flavor of hummus you like.

Next add 1/4 cup crushed Rice Chex or gluten free bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup feta cheese.

Now add 1/4 cup kalamata olives that have been sliced in half, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. If you’ll notice, most of the ingredients we’ve added so far are FULL of flavor, which will really help liven this turkey meatloaf up.

Rounding out the mix is 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and lots of salt and pepper. 

Mix the ingredients together with your hands until just combined then divide into 4 sections. Shape each section into a loaf then place onto a foil-lined, non-stick sprayed baking sheet.

Slather the top of each mini meatloaf with 1 Tablespoon hummus then bake for 18-20 minutes at 425 degrees.

While the meatloaves are sizzlin’ away in the oven, mix up a super-fresh topping that will bring even more flavor and life to the party.

In a bowl combine 1 chopped vine-ripened tomato and 1/2 peeled, seeded and chopped cucumber. 

Next add 4-5 chopped basil leaves. 

Finish up with a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper then toss to combine.

Pull the meatloaves out of the oven then let them rest for 5 minutes before spooning on the tomato topping plus a bit more feta cheese.

Tender, flavorful, fresh, and quick and easy too, I hope you love every single bite — enjoy!

    Yum! Made these the other night – so much flavor! No need to eat boring turkey burgers ever again.

  2. Maureen says:

    I made these last night and seriously, they were AHmazing! Gound turkey finally found a way to have FLAVOR! Instead of sweet potato fries I made cous cous and mixed the salad topping into that, definitely recommend as another option for a side dish for this. High five on this one IGE!

    1. Iowa Girl Eats says:

      Wohoo! So glad you liked the mini meatloaves, Maureen! :)

  3. Jenn says:

    I can’t describe how awesome feta is in scrambled eggs. I don’t know how I did not know this until last year but it is one of the reasons I buy feta now. Delicious!

  4. Becky @ Olives n Wine says:

    I *almost* sat on my balcony in the warm temperatures this weekend to enjoy a glass of white wine. January – March IS.THE.LONGEST!! I’m going to add your mini turkey meatloaves to my menu plan next month. I love hummus and these look delicious and the perfect light meal!

  5. Rachael {SimplyFreshCooking} says:

    This is a must try!!

  6. Stephanie @ My Freckled Life says:

    These look so interesting! I would never think to pair meatloaf with mediterranean flavors! I definitey might have to test this one out (although minus the olives for me).

  7. debtgirl says:

    The sweet potato fries look good and the spice looks interesting.

  8. Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says:

    I have the exact same problem with feta cheese! In fact, I have 3/4 of a tub of it sitting in my fridge right now after making a greek pasta salad a few days ago. Thanks for the reminder (and idea of how) to use it up!

  9. Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says:

    I have to admit, meatloaf is one of my least favorite meals. But this actually looks good!!

  10. Celeste B. says:

    I love the BBQ meatloafs and can’t wait to try these.

  11. Chelsea says:

    Ha! I know exactly what you mean. I live in Wisconsin, so when I experienced the weather yesterday, I made my summer garden couscous salad. We have to take what we can get!

  12. JoAnn says:

    I can relate, I live near Chicago and Saturday is supposed to be 55 degrees, Sunday is going to be 28 degrees.
