4 eggs
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 small onions, chopped, plus 1 medium, sliced
2 thick slices bread, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon oil
BBQ Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
2 slices sharp provolone
2 slices Anadama Bread, recipe follows
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 5 cloves)
1 1/2 large onions, cut into small dice
5 cups ketchup
1 1/8 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white or cider vinegar
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons dried parsley
3 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups cornmeal, plus additional for dusting
1 cup molasses
1/3 cup yeast
8 cups high-gluten flour
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
8 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey, eggs, garlic, onions, bread, parsley and some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Divide in half and place each half into a well-sprayed loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap, then with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 5 additional minutes to brown.
  • Remove meatloaves from their pans and place on a cutting board. Cut two thick slices of meatloaf. Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan and cook the slices until browned on both sides. In a separate pan, cook the sliced onions until tender. Place the onions on the meatloaf, top with BBQ sauce and then with the provolone. Place 1 slice of Anadama Bread in the pan, set the meat tower on the bread, cover with the other slice of Anadama Bread and cook until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the diagonal, and serve.
  • Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until tender. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, parsley, salt, black pepper, cayenne and 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thick, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Combine the cornmeal and 5 cups water in a saucepan. Heat until starting to thicken, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, combine the cornmeal mash, molasses and yeast. Mix, then turn off and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the high-gluten flour and mix until smooth. Let sit until the dough doubles in size (about 10 minutes). Mix in the oil, salt, ginger and all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until a ball forms on the dough hook. Place on a well-floured work surface and cut into five 26-ounce dough balls. With floured hands, knead and form into the desired shape and then place into 5 well-sprayed loaf pans. Let rest until the dough doubles in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Dust the top of the dough with cornmeal. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 180 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

1. Choose the Right Meat:     For the best grilled meatloaf sandwiches, start with a flavorful ground beef mixture. Use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a juicy and tender meatloaf. 2. Season the Meatloaf Well:     Don't be afraid to season the meatloaf generously with herbs and spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are all great options. 3. Don't Overwork the Meatloaf:     Overworking the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. 4. Grill the Meatloaf Over Direct Heat:     Grilling the meatloaf over direct heat will help it develop a nice crust. Sear the meatloaf on all sides before reducing the heat to medium and cooking through. 5. Let the Meatloaf Rest:     Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice. 6. Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients:     The fresher the ingredients, the better your grilled meatloaf sandwiches will be. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and condiments. 7. Get Creative with the Toppings:     There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for grilled meatloaf sandwiches. Try classic toppings like ketchup and mustard, or get creative with avocado, bacon, or even grilled pineapple.
