Preheat the oven to 400° and spray a 12 count muffin tin with baking/olive oil spray.
Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 mins.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and fresh rosemary or thyme. Let cool for a couple minutes.
In a large bowl combine the panko bread crumbs, milk, lightly beaten eggs, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
Add the ground turkey and the onion mixture.
With clean hands lightly mix the ingredients together. Only mix just until it comes together, over mixing will create tough meatloaf muffins!
With a ⅓ cup measuring cup portion out the meatloaf mixture into the prepared 12 cup muffin tin.
Top each individual meatloaf with 1 tablespoon ketchup, use more if you love the ketchup topping.
Place the muffin tin on top of a baking sheet to catch any spill-overs in the oven!
Bake at 400 for 25 minutes until the center of the meatloaf reaches 160°.
Let rest for a few minutes and then serve, 2-3 cups per person!
