QUICK & EASY BBQ MEATLOAF (5 INGREDIENTS)



Quick & Easy BBQ Meatloaf (5 Ingredients) image

Very easy quick meatloaf recipe. I make many varieties of meatloaf... sometimes the Italian with breadcrumbs, garlic, eggs, etc... This version is a tasty quick BBQ recipe that is great for busy nights or dinner in a rush. Sometimes I put the remaining BBQ sauce right on the loaf prior to putting it in oven if you like it a little hardened. For easy clean-up, I use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper that I spray lightly with Pam Olive Oil spray.

BBQ TURKEY MEATLOAF - 5 INGREDIENTS



BBQ Turkey Meatloaf - 5 Ingredients image

The secret to this tender, flavor-packed BBQ meatloaf is the boxed cornbread stuffing mix! Beginning cooks will love the convenience, but so will any cook with a keen eye for a healthy, quick entree. TIP: We eat one meatloaf for dinner, and I freeze the second one for another meal.

Provided by CookinDiva

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 ounces ground turkey
8 ounces turkey sausage (casings removed)
1 cup seasoned stuffing mix (StoveTop type, dry, I like "Cornbread" type)
1 egg, beaten with fork
1 1/4 cups barbecue sauce (like KC Masterpiece Original)

Steps:

  • Crumble ground turkey into large mixing bowl. If sausage is in links, remove casings and crumble sausage into bowl.
  • Add 1 cup dry stuffing mix (about half a box), egg and 1 cup of the barbecue sauce (save 1/4 cup to glaze tops of meatloaves).
  • Mix gently; divide in two. Pat into two loaves in a greased/sprayed 9x13 pan (see photo provided).
  • Use remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce to spoon over tops of loaves. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour.
  • Option: this meatloaf could easily be made with lean ground beef and sausage, but it is SO delicious with the lower-fat ingredients that you should give it a try!
