Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes with Mashed Potato Frosting

DSC_0924
Aren't these meatloaf cupcakes the cutest? I saw them on Pinterest and then realized they came from one of my favorite cooking blogs, Gina's Skinny Taste. I modified the recipe from Gina's a bit because I didn't have zucchini or fresh thyme, but they still turned out great. My favorite part was the mashed potato frosting. They are a fun, unique way to eat your meat and potatoes.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with foil liners (I just used large cardboard muffin liners). In a large bowl mix the turkey, zucchini, onions, breadcrumbs, ketchup, egg,and salt.

Place meatloaf mixture into muffin tins, making sure they are flat at the top. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. Pipe the mashed potato frosting onto the cupcakes, peel from the muffin liners and serve.
