Gluten-Free Parmesan Meat Muffins

Parmesan Gluten Free Meat Muffins (adapted from this meatloaf recipe):

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 (4 oz) can tomato paste
• 1/2 cup marinara pasta sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded Italian blend cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two muffins pans with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the marinara sauce and Italian cheese blend. Divide evenly into the muffin pans. 

Cover each muffin with a spoonful or two of marinara sauce. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each muffin with shredded cheese (I used more than the 1/2 cup). Place them back in the oven and bake until the cheese melts.

Remove from the oven allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
