Easy Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
source (google.com.pk)INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey, preferably 85 percent lean/15 percent fat, or a mix of ground breast and thigh meat
2/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
1/2 cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped celery
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Seasoning
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack positioned in center of oven.
STEP 2
Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 1 tablespoon ketchup, garlic, Essence, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until ingredients are well combined. Transfer turkey mixture to a 1-pound loaf pan; form into a domed loaf shape.
STEP 3
Place remaining ketchup in a small bowl; stir in hot sauce. Spoon ketchup mixture evenly over meatloaf, spreading with the back of a spoon.
STEP 4
Bake until meatloaf is browned on top, cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes.
STEP 5
Remove pan from oven and let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving.
Making meatloaf is as subjective as building burgers. Some people insist on using breadcrumbs; to others, it's sacrilege. Some people like to mix ground beef, pork, and veal, others swear by 100% ground beef. But today, let's put all that aside and talk turkey.
Turkey makes for a leaner and healthier version of classic meatloaf, with just as much comfort and taste as the original. There are endless versions of glazes and fillings, but this one is a basic, no-fail turkey meatloaf recipe that delivers an easy weeknight dinner in no time—especially when paired up with meatloaf's favorite sidekick, homemade mashed potatoes.
It’s not your grandma’s meatloaf, it’s better… there, I said it! I know, some of you are thinking “them’s fightin’ words” and hitting unsubscribe right now. But in all seriousness, I don’t go labeling recipes as being “best” willy-nilly. As a mater of fact, out of nearly 600 recipes, there have so far only been 3 that I’ve deemed worthy of getting the title “best”.
Sure I have a page with a few dozen of my favorite dishes on this site, but in order to get “best” in the title it has to be something unparalleled. In this case, this meatloaf is the kind of delicious that has me sneaking back to the fridge to nibble on leftovers as I write this post.
While meatloaf has legitimate ancestry stretching back to various dishes from across Europe, it didn’t become widely popular in the US until the Great Depression. Rationing made it necessary to find clever ways to stretch what little meat was available, and it’s around that time that meatloaf became as American as apple pie (which isn’t actually American at all, but that’s a topic for another post). Sadly the budget friendly, belly filling qualities of meatloaf made it perfect for school cafeterias and microwave dinners, which gave it a bum rap over the years.

If you want want to share this recipe just share the link rather than the whole recipe. The thing with meatloaf is that it’s not a solid piece of meat, which means you can season it right to the core, then adjust the richness and texture to suit your tastes. Personally I like my meat tender, moist and flavorful. To paraphrase Descartes: “I crave, therefore I make”.
Breadcrumbs and milk not only make the meatloaf tender, the milk adds moisture, while the breadcrumbs reabsorb the juices released by the meat. As for flavor, I throw everything I have in my flavor arsenal at it; this includes onions, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and to top it all off, thick slices of bacon. A sweet tomato glaze on top not only helps disguise the rather unsightly log of meat, it brings a balancing sweetness to the savory meat underneath.
