- 2 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
- 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, very finely chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, stemmed and chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 pounds ground turkey breast
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons flax seeds, ground
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup ketchup (preferably the low-sugar kind), divided
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into half-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until very hot. Add mushrooms and cook until brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Add in onion, carrot, celery and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine and let it reduce by half. Remove from heat and let cool.
While the meatloaves are baking, place sweet potatoes in cold water in a large pot. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook sweet potatoes until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add buttermilk, maple syrup, salt and pepper, and mash to desired consistency.
Serve 1 mini meatloaf per person with mashed sweet potatoes alongside.
