BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF



Best Turkey Meatloaf image

After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds ground turkey
¾ cup crushed buttery round crackers
½ cup milk
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly roll pan.
  • Mix ground turkey, buttery round cracker crumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl; shape into a loaf and place on the prepared jelly roll pan.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 ½ cups unseasoned stuffing mix
¾ cup chicken stock

  • Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon ground sage. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • While the vegetables cool, stir together the stuffing mix and chicken stock in a medium bowl.. Let sit for 15 minutes, until the stuffing mix is soggy and has absorbed all of the liquid.
  • Once the vegetables have cooled, add the soaked stuffing mix, ground turkey, remaining teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper, remaining ¾ teaspoon ground sage, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to smooth the top.
  • Bake the turkey and stuffing loaf for 25 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf loaf bakes, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, ketchup, and mustard.
  • Pour the glaze over the meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature 165°F (75°C).
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment to carefully lift out the meatloaf and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
