  • Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 lb Ground Turkey (You could use all ground Turkey but I like a little beefy-ness)1 lb Lean Ground Beef1/2 c. raisins, chopped2 cups of cooked quinoa1 cup of Grated or minced carrots1 sm. onion minced1/3 cup of an egg substitute (i.e. EggBeaters)Dash of milk2 t. Worcestershire SauceLarge pinch of OreganoSaltPepper
Directions
Preheat your oven to 450 F
Combine the meats, raisins, quinoa, carrots, onions, salt, pepper, oregano and Worcestershire sauce together, making sure it is well combined. Add the Egg substitute and a dash of milk making sure everything holds together. Take a muffin pan but DO NOT GREASE IT and distribute the meat mixture evenly into each cup mounding it a little ontop.
Bake in your oven for 20 minutes or until done, but make sure to cook them completely since we are using turkey.

I eat one muffin per serving and it is delicious!

     Added about 1 c celery. The raisins seemed a bit odd, but were GREAT! I ended up with almost 1/3 of the mixture left over after I filled my muffin tins... not sure if I should have packed more in each cup. BF loved it even if it was "healthy" :) Will make again for sure! - 4/18/11

     This is great! I didn't have raisins, so I used dried cranberries (nice tartness). I only had turkey, but next time I'll use the half turkey / half beef. Might add more seasonings, but that's just personal preferences. Definite winner! - 3/22/11

     These are very good and this recipe has become a standard at our house. The only problem is they are too good and I am tempted to eat two. - 6/13/10

     These are good but my meat must have been extra lean because there was no grease. We felt they needed some sort of a sauce so I am using the leftovers in spaghetti sauce for spaghetti and meatballs this evening for dinner. - 7/8/10

     So good! I made the quinoa with chicken stock for extra flavor. I Couldn't really taste the raisins but it was fantastic with some brussels sprouts and ketchup. - 7/8/09

     Excellent, the raisins ARE a must. The only thing I would do different is to go with all ground turkey. Healthier and less greasy. Otherwise a big hit in the house. - 3/22/10

     This rocked. We had it for dinner last night. Didn't have raisins and my husband forgot to get the turkey, so it was all beef but we will definitely be adding this to our regular menu!! - 7/27/11

     This was absolutely delicious!! I left out the Beef, and cut the other non-meat ingredients in half to compensate. It was the best meat loaf I ever tasted. It didn't even need Ketchup! - 1/29/10

     My kids liked eating muffins for dinner and didn't notice the carrots but loved the raisins. A great idea. - 2/1/09

     Thank you so much for sharing! Very good. - 9/3/08

     Omg! These were so delicious. I had bought quinoa before but didn't really like the taste so this was a really good way to use up what I had left. My wife and Kids (who are the most picky children on earth) even liked these. The raisins added a nice sweetness. Thanx! - 4/2/08
  • CRAFTSFAN1
     I made them using craisins, and they were great!
    Thanks for sharing.
    I cooked the quinoa in the rice cooker and it came out perfect. - 8/10/13

     My husband puts quinoa in meat loafs, burgers, meat balls, etc. And I probably won't put raisins in it. But I have gf worcestershire sauce and can't wait to try this. - 5/30/12

     Yum - great combo of flavors and healthy ingredients. I made it in a regular loaf pan and baked about 10 min more, for a total of 30 min. - 5/13/20
