Calories 87kcal

½ cup oatmeal or breadcrumbs
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
¼ cup red onion diced
⅓ cup salsa plus about 3 Tablespoons to spoon over the tops (I used peach salsa!)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup cilantro, optional chopped
1 pound ground turkey breast

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add all ingredients, except for turkey, to a large bowl and mix well.
Add the ground turkey to the bowl and fold in the other ingredients so that they are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Don't over-mix or the meat will be tough when cooked.
Portion about a ¼ cup of mixture into a muffin tin coated in cooking spray. Press mixture into muffin tin with the back of a spoon.
Top each meatloaf muffin with a teaspoon of salsa.
Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

If making a traditional loaf the cook time will be about 1 hour.
