CHIPOTLE ( TURKEY ) MEATLOAF



Chipotle ( Turkey ) Meatloaf image

From Cooking Light December 2005. It calls for 2 pounds of ground turkey. I made this for my husband using 1/2 turkey and 1/2 lean beef since he doesn't like turkey loaves - it gave it the flavor of beef while still lightening it up. He loved it.

CHIPOTLE MEATLOAF GLAZE



Chipotle Meatloaf Glaze image

Tired of your old meatloaf glaze? This zingier glaze makes an amount suitable not only for meatloaves baked in any of the customary loaf pan sizes (such as 9x5, and thereabouts), but also in larger 9x9-inch pans and 2 1/2-quart dishes. But go ahead and use all of the glaze even on your 9x5-inch meatloaves. It's that good!

CROCK POT CHIPOTLE MEATLOAF



Crock Pot Chipotle Meatloaf image

This is a recipe I came up with the other evening to satisfy my craving for comfort food. I needed a one-dish meal, as my crock-pot is the only cooking apparatus I have left after kitchen fire. Great for getting your veggies without extra work or dishes (I love to use spinach and mushrooms whenever I can!). Makes fantastic sandwiches next day (also makes yummy meatballs!)

1/4 cup cheese, shredded (I use Sargento's Shredded Chipotle, yum!)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 chipotle pepper, pulverized

Steps:

CHIPOTLE MEATLOAF



Chipotle Meatloaf image

I made this meatloaf a while back. It was delicious

Provided by Georgane Vann

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound each turkey, beef and pork ground.
2-3 toes minced garlic
1 medium minced onion
1/2 cup catsup
2 or 3 canned chipotle peppers in sauce
2 tsp steak seasoning
2 large eggs
1/2 sleeve of saltine crackers.
salt and pepper to taste. remember the crackers have salt on them
small can tomato paste
molasses or brown sugar to taste.

Steps:

  • 1. mix the pounds of turkey, beef and pork together. Add in the half cup of catsup, minced garlic, minced onion, two eggs, two to three mashed up chipotle peppers from a can of peppers in sauce, completely crushed crackers add about 2 table spoons of the sauce. Pick out stems if they have any. salt and pepper and steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly. I wear latex gloves while mixing so it's not so hard to wash your hands.
  • 2. put paper cups into a muffin tin and spray with vegetable spray. Form the mix into balls that fit into the muffin cups. Not too far over the top of the tin because the juices may cook over.
  • 3. Bake at 350 for twenty to thirty minutes. But check them regularly note: if you want to mix some brown sugar or molasses with tomato paste to top the muffins before you bake them that is delicious too. Depends on how sweet you like the topping as to how much sugar you want in it. I also make it into a loaf. cook until nearly done and top with the tomato paste and brown sugar or molasses mixture

Tips:

  • Selecting Ground Beef: Choose 80/20 ground beef for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. The 80% lean meat provides structure, while the 20% fat adds richness.
  • Soaking Breadcrumbs: Before incorporating breadcrumbs into the meatloaf mixture, soak them in milk or broth. This helps them absorb moisture and prevents them from becoming dry during baking.
  • Seasoning the Meatloaf: Use a combination of spices and herbs to create a flavorful meatloaf. Common seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
  • Forming the Meatloaf: When shaping the meatloaf, form it into a loaf shape and create a slight indentation in the center. This helps the meatloaf cook evenly and prevents it from cracking.
  • Baking the Meatloaf: Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Baste the meatloaf with its juices during baking to keep it moist.

Conclusion:

This Chipotle Meatloaf recipe combines the bold flavors of chipotle peppers with the classic comfort of meatloaf. It's a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
