Recipe Swap: Mini Turkey Meatloaves

I am so glad it's finally Friday. This week has been a long one and I am in dire need of some R & R.  After a week out of the kitchen, I was so happy to turn my oven back on and get back to it. And what better way to get back in the swing of things than with the Blogger's Choice recipe swap, hosted by my good friend Sarah!

I was given the blog Jenna's Cooking Journey, and after looking through several of her recipes I found these little meatloaves, using turkey, and thought they would be a great healthy and hearty meal to end my week with. As with any meatloaf it takes a little while to cook, but it's still good for a weeknight meal. It had great flavor, was very moist, and the sauce on top was perfectly spicy! I had enough left over for lunch the next day, and dinner with a friend the next night. Perfect for me, or for a family of four for dinner!

Thanks to Jenna for a great recipe, and make sure to check Sarah's blog next week for the round-up!
