Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons butter
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 carrot, grated
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 ½ pounds ground chicken
1 egg
⅓ cup applesauce
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup applesauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the celery and onion with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and browned, about 12 minutes. Stir in the carrot, and cook for 5 more minutes; stir in the apple, and remove the mixture from the heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly mix together the ground chicken, egg, 1/3 cup of applesauce, milk, bread crumbs, poultry seasoning, sage, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix in the cooked vegetable-apple mixture. Form the mixture into a loaf, and place into the center of a 9x12-inch baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of applesauce, the Dijon mustard, and honey into a smooth mixture, and spread the glaze over the top and sides of the meat loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until the internal temperature of the loaf is 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 30 more minutes. Allow the loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chicken was moist, but it lacked flavor. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less apple cider vinegar in the glaze.
