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.

Provided by isabella104

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
½ cup milk
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly roll pan.
  • 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).

1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp tomato purée , plus 1 tbsp for the beans
500g turkey mince (thigh is best)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground turkey. Ground turkey breast is the leanest option, but it can be dry. Ground turkey thigh is more flavorful, but it is also higher in fat. A combination of the two is ideal.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf. Grated vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, and onions, add moisture and flavor to the meatloaf. You can also use bread crumbs, oatmeal, or crackers.
  • Season the meatloaf generously. Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry. The ideal internal temperature for a meatloaf is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it can also be made with ground turkey breast or thigh. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying turkey meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
