Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
6 slices Texas toast, cubed
1/2 cup milk
2 pounds ground beef
6 strips crisp cooked bacon, chopped
2 large eggs
2 red onions; 1 finely chopped and 1 thinly sliced
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Cheddar, cut into small cubes, plus 1 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup grated yellow onion (from about 1/2 onion)
Dill pickle chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a broiler pan with nonstick spray.
  • Mix together the bread and milk in a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the ground beef, bacon, eggs, chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl. Add the soaked bread and mix with your hands, trying to keep the mixture light. Gently mix in the cubed Cheddar, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the meat.
  • Form the meat mixture into a loaf approximately 6 to 8 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick on the prepared pan. Mix the grated yellow onion with the remaining 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another bowl. Spread half of the sauce on top of the meatloaf. Tent the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil, add the rest of the sauce and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F and the meatloaf is no longer pink in the middle, another 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle on the grated Cheddar and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before removing to a platter.
  • Slice and serve with the sliced red onions and dill pickle chips.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
5 pounds ground turkey breast
1 1/2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
3 extra-large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

UNBELIEVABLY MOIST TURKEY MEATLOAF



Unbelievably Moist Turkey Meatloaf image

Our turkey meatloaf is full of flavor, moist in the middle, and has become a reader favorite! You would never guess this meatloaf is packed with mushrooms, but that's what makes it so darn delicious. Lots of finely chopped mushrooms add flavor and moisture, often missing from the typical turkey meatloaf. When choosing which mushrooms to add, white button mushrooms will work perfectly fine. For more flavor, try one or a combination of brown cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms. The mushrooms need to be very finely chopped. You can do this by hand or use a food processor.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and very finely chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon oil
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
7 tablespoons ketchup, divided, try our homemade ketchup
1 cup (60 grams) panko bread crumbs or use homemade bread crumbs
1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 ¼ pound ground turkey (92% lean)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet (or use a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan) lined with aluminum foil.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms, a 1/2-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4-teaspoon of pepper. Cook until the mushrooms give off their liquid and it boils away; about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the onions and mushrooms to a large bowl, and then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and three tablespoons of the ketchup. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Stir the breadcrumb mixture and the eggs into the mushrooms and onions. Using a fork or your hands, gently mix in the turkey, a 1/4-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. The mixture will be very wet.
  • Form the meatloaf into a 9-inch by 5-inch oval in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the remaining four tablespoons of ketchup on top.
  • Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf registers 170 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

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.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Ground Turkey Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds ground turkey
¾ cup crushed buttery round crackers

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.
  • Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.
  • Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use ground turkey: Ground turkey is a leaner and healthier alternative to traditional ground beef, making this meatloaf a healthier choice.
  • Add plenty of flavor: The turkey meatloaf can be bland on its own, so make sure to add plenty of flavor with seasonings, herbs, and vegetables. Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all great options.
  • Use a variety of cheese: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese in the meatloaf. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all popular choices, but you could also try Gouda, Swiss, or pepper Jack.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and juicy. 350°F is a good temperature for cooking turkey meatloaf.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Turkey cheeseburger meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a healthier alternative to traditional beef meatloaf, and it is packed with flavor. With its moist and juicy texture and its cheesy, flavorful interior, turkey cheeseburger meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
