Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1-1/2 lb good quality ground turkey, both light and dark mix
1 c sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil with garlic, divided
1-1/2 c bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp chopped fresh sage, or to taste
1 pinch salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place sun-dried tomatoes and juices in food processor to puree. Put half of this into the turkey meat mix. I was able to purchase the sun-dried tomatoes already pureed.
2. Mix in the breadcrumbs and eggs.Add chopped fresh Sage to this mix. Form into a meatloaf shape and place in a vegetable sprayed dish.
3. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour. Remove from the oven and spread the reserved puree on top, then return it to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Another way to serve is to slice the meatloaf into one inch slices and add to a skillet to crisp on both sides for an extra layer of texture.

Tips:

Use high-quality ground beef. The quality of the meat will greatly affect the flavor of the meatloaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Do not overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a loaf pan that is the right size for the amount of meatloaf mixture you have. A too-small pan will cause the meatloaf to overflow, while a too-large pan will make the meatloaf too thin and dry.
Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to cook the meatloaf through. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meatloaf while keeping the inside moist.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

These five-ingredient meatloaf recipes are all easy to make and delicious. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give one of these recipes a try.
