How to Make Bacon Wrapped Mini Meatloaf

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 cup grated carrots. Cook until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
5. Set aside to cool completely.
6. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, and the cooled onion and carrot mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
7. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thick patty, about 3 inches across.
8. Wrap each patty with 1 slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
9. **To bake from fresh:** Place the meatloaf patties on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
10. **To freeze:** Wrap each patty individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
11. **To bake from frozen:** Remove the plastic wrap from the frozen patties. Place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
