Greek Turkey Meatloaf image

Feta, olives, and oregano make meatloaf super, duper exciting.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion (finely chopped)
2 carrots (peeled and finely chopped)
2 teaspoons garlic
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon Kosher or coarse salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 15-ounce can petite diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup crumbled feta
½ cup roughly chopped kalamata olives (optional)
3 pounds ground turkey (preferably a mixture of white and dark meat, or a blend of 85/15%)
⅔ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and carrots and sauté for 5 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes until you can smell the garlic. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the two eggs with the salt and pepper. Stir in the bread crumbs and oregano, then add the can of tomatoes, the cooked vegetables, and the feta. It will be very gloppy. The add the turkey and use you hands to gently mix everything together until it's all well blended; it will still be a soft mixture. Use you hand to form a rectangular loaf on the tray (see Make Ahead Note). Smear the top and sides with the ketchup.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until cooked through. You can turn the oven to broil if you like a nicely browned top and give it a couple of extra minutes. Let it cool on the tray for 15 minutes, then transfer carefully, using a couple of large spatulas, to a serving dish, or cut and serve right from the baking sheet.
