- 1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine onion, carrots and celery. Pulse until finely chopped. Add chipotle peppers and pulse until just combined.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the pepper and vegetable mixture. Add egg whites and oats; gently mix until combined.

Meanwhile, combine all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Remove meat loaves from oven and spoon the topping over each meatloaf.

Let meatloaf stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 9 mini loaves.

Best recipe ever! Make this for my family all the time now, it's a big hit! Sometimes if I don't have time to make it with the mexican flair, I'll just use the ground turkey and a packet of dry onion soup mix, and those turn out great too. Thanks for the idea Tara, and congrats on all your success!
This is the BEST meatloaf recipe I have ever eaten and extremely easy to make! Serving's can be frozen and heated up in the microwave to eat at a later time!
I have made these severals times now. I love them!.You can microwave them for one minute and serve wih a salad for a quick lunch
This was easily the best recipe I've ever made. It was delish! In response to another posted comment: You don't use two cans of chipotle peppers, you use two canned peppers....that means you have to use 2 peppers from the can and save the rest or discard them. It was yummy!

I'm not sure if I did it right but I put 1 whole can of the chipotle pepppers in the mix. Does anyone know if that was right or was I supposed to put both cans in? Anyway, as it was already it was way too HOT/SPICY for me. I couldn't even enjoy them. Any modification advice?

I really enjoy this recipe. it definitley has a kick and is so filling. great job tara!
OMG..... This was sooooo good. I added 3 extra pepers to give it a spicy kick and it was delicious. I brought it to work for my co-workers and they now all want the recipe
I loved it alot! I don't have much luck with making ground turkey taste good but this hit the spot..Perfect for everyone in the house..PS..Has kick!
I have been so excited about the show. After seeing Tara make this I was excited to try something new. Thank you so much. I have already tried other recipes this week from Biggest Loser and they have been GREAT.
absolutely delicious
I made some changes to cater to my daughter's tastes and it was a hit. The individual portions made it easy for leftovers, too.
I did not have splenda or sugar free ketchup. They were pretty good. They needed a little more sauce for dipping....great to re-heat when needed.
This is delicious! They are great to freeze and microwave for a quick lunch.
I am going to make this . I am a WW and it would be 2 points for a serving. Sounds very good.
I am saying I like it as sure I will when I make it this mext week. Thank's Tara.
