Ingredients
1 pound of ground turkey or lean ground meat
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dry onion soup mix
Cooking spray
Directions
1. In a medium-size bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix
thoroughly. Divide into four equal portions.
2. Use cooking spray to cover inside of four microwave-safe coffee mugs. Divide into four portions (about 1/2 cup each). Place each portion in a mug and poke a hole in the middle down to the bottom of the mug.
3. Place each mug in microwave and cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until instant-read thermometer reads 165° F.
4. Remove mugs with hot pads. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes so fluids are absorbed back into the meatloaf. Top each meatloaf with ketchup, if desired.
