Italian Mini Meat Pies

We had baseball practice for Landon tonight so I threw something together before hand, then just reheated it when we got home. It actually turned out pretty good (3/4 of the family that had it liked it!) So here goes:

Italian Mini Meat Pies
one pound ground turkey (mine already had Italian seasoning in it, if you can't find that, add about a tablespoon of Italian seasoning)
1/2 onion, chopped
butter
1/2 jar spaghetti sauce- your favorite kind
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper (I only added this to about 1/2 of the mix so the kids' wouldn't be spicy. In their words, they don't do spicy.)
a handful of chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup Italian blend cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350.
Saute the onions in about a tablespoon of butter until clear. Turn off heat. Add sauce, meat (raw), 1/2 cup bread crumbs, basil, and red pepper, if using. Scoop mixture evenly into muffin pans. (Mine made about 15)

Sprinkle additional bread crumbs on top, and add mushrooms on top as well. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, then check. You want the breadcrumbs to be nice and toasted. Give them a little more time as needed. Once they look nice and crunchy on top, sprinkle with cheese, and pop back in for a few minutes to melt. I also added more fresh basil on mine after cooking.
Enjoy!
