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.

TURKEY MEATLOAF



Turkey Meatloaf image

This is a recipe that helps explain the Twitter-era term "humblebrag." I made it for the celebrated writer and filmmaker Nora Ephron after a different recipe resulted in a disaster and I had to discard the result with only a few hours before my dinner with -- did I mention? -- Nora Ephron. It derives from a meatball dish once cooked by the chef Mark Ladner at the restaurant Lupa in Manhattan, and published as a recipe in Details magazine in the early years of the century. I scaled it up over the years, increasing some spices here and there, lessening others, until I had what I thought to be a pretty terrific meatloaf. But don't take my word for it. "This is remarkable," Ms. Ephron told me. I'm bragging about it still.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup fresh bread crumbs of any provenance
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup whole milk
1 pound ground turkey
1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casing removed, crumbled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces bacon, chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, seeds removed
1 cup red wine
1/4 bunch mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine 2/3 of the garlic, the rosemary, pepper flakes, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Add the milk and mix. Add the turkey and sausage and mix once more to combine; don't overmix. Transfer onto a board and shape into a fine meatloaf, about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide.
  • Place in a baking pan with high sides (a 9 x12 pan with 2-inch sides works well), drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway through to brown evenly. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, fry the bacon in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until it starts to curl and its fat is rendered. Add the onions and remaining garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil.
  • Pour the sauce over the meatloaf, cover tightly with foil and bake until a meat thermometer inserted at the center reads 150 degrees, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the meatloaf to a platter and let stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 20 minutes; its internal temperature will rise to 160 to 165. Cut into thick slices, spoon tomato sauce over the top and scatter with torn mint leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey meat. Ground turkey breast is the leanest option, but it can be dry. Ground turkey thigh is more flavorful and moist, but it's also higher in fat. A combination of the two is a good compromise.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf. Turkey meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add moisture to it. This can be done by adding eggs, bread crumbs, and/or vegetables to the mixture.
  • Season the meatloaf well. Turkey meatloaf can be bland, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, thyme, and sage.
  • Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature. Turkey meatloaf should be cooked at a moderate temperature, such as 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking it at too high of a temperature will dry it out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef meatloaf. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a turkey meatloaf that your whole family will love.
