Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium sweet potatoes
Cooking spray
1 pound 93 percent lean ground turkey
1 small onion, grated
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (preferably whole-wheat)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped scallions or chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all overwith a fork and microwave until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine the turkey, onion, panko and egg in a bowl. Add half each of the ketchup, hoisin sauce and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into a 9-by-11-inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Mix the remaining ketchup, hoisin sauce and ginger in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons water; brush over the meat. Bake until golden and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until the glaze is just caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Mix the butter, half of the scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Split the potatoes and top with the scallion butter. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

DETHBERT'S SWEET POTATO MEATLOAF



Dethbert's Sweet Potato Meatloaf image

I like meatloaf and have been working on this recipe for some time; I think I've got it pretty close. This is not a simple, easy, and inexpensive meatloaf like many are, but it sure is tasty. Be careful, my times are based on glass bread pans; don't overcook the meat if you are using tin.

SWEET POTATO-TURKEY MEATLOAF



Sweet Potato-Turkey Meatloaf image

I initially created this recipe after one my grandmother used to make with beef and regular mashed potatoes. Instead, I substituted mashed sweet potatoes and used ground turkey. It tastes even better the next day when slices are grilled in a pan with butter, then place on bread slices to make a sandwich. The biggest secret to the taste is the sweetness from the sweet potato!
