MOM'S BEST EVER TURKEY MEATLOAF



Mom's Best Ever Turkey Meatloaf image

This recipe was modified from one I found in a cookbook published by "The Turkey Store". My family, and everyone I have ever served it too love it and can't believe that it is low fat, low cholesterol. And recently I started substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs since my husband's doctor put him on an even stricter diet than before. It is easy, there is no need to sauté the onions, bell pepper and garlic before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. It is also moist and very tasty. I usually serve with baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans. It makes GREAT sandwiches the next day.

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

  • 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. Return loaf to oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey loaf is cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey loaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute and make the turkey loaf easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Turkey loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it can also be made with ground turkey. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
