Beef, Turkey, and Andouille Meat Loaf image

Another recipe found in my "The Complete Meat Cookbook" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly. They state: "Andouille is a hot and smoky Cajun sausage that's now widely available throughout the United States. Posting for ZWT but untried by me.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups breadcrumbs (soft fresh)
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 lb andouille sausage (or other smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks and coarsely chopped in a food processor)
1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions with the pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the optional bell peppers and the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Mix in all the remaining ingredients (except those for the glaze). Using your hands, knead the mixture until everything is well blended. On a large baking sheet (with a rim) or a large shallow baking pan, form the meat into a loaf about 10 by 4 by 4 inches high. Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the Mustard Glaze: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Brush the glaze all over the top of the meat loaf after the first 30 minutes of baking. Bake the meat loaf for 30 to 45 minutes more, or until the internal temperature is 150° to 155°F Let the loaf rest for 10 to 20 minutes, loosely covered with foil, before slicing and serving.

This meatloaf was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of meatloaf, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so flavorful and moist, and the andouille sausage gave it a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.
