Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf image

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 1h17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Oil, for greasing dish
1 (10-ounce) box chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup seeded and finely chopped red jalapeno
2 tablespoons yogurt
3/4 cup cold milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
1 onion, diced
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.
  • Filling: Using a kitchen towel, squeeze off the excess liquid from the spinach. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the spinach, feta, jalapenos, and yogurt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the milk and grits. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the onion, turkey, eggs, Worcestershire, parsley, stock, salt, pepper, and the grits. Mix until well combined. Transfer half of the mixture to the casserole dish and shape it into a medium-sized log. Using your fingers, make an indentation in the meat for the filling. This should resemble a canoe. Add the filling to the indentation and top with the remaining meat. Form the meatloaf, being sure to cover the filling completely with meat. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake in the oven until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey that is fresh and has a low fat content, ideally 93% lean or higher. This will ensure a tender and flavorful meatloaf.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a flavorful meatloaf. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The meatloaf should fill the loaf pan without being too crowded. If the pan is too small, the meatloaf will be too thick and may not cook evenly. If the pan is too large, the meatloaf will be too thin and may dry out.
  • Cook the meatloaf at the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for cooking meatloaf is 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly without drying out.

Conclusion:

Cheese-stuffed turkey meatloaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
