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.

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.

TURKEY AND BEEF MEATLOAF WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE



Turkey and Beef Meatloaf with Cranberry Glaze image

Turkey and cranberries is a match made in heaven -- why wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy it? This healthy take on meatloaf pairs the two in an inspired way: Turkey lightens up the traditional ground beef base and antioxidant-rich cranberries are the centerpiece of a tangy glaze.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped (2 tablespoons), plus more sprigs for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small carrot
1 small onion
1 pound 90 percent lean ground beef
8 ounces 85 percent lean ground turkey
1 large egg
1/2 cup instant barley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Put the cranberries, ketchup, honey, sriracha, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to bubble, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cranberries soften, about 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to crush the cranberries until mostly smooth. Add the rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Grate the carrot and onion on the small shredding side of a box grater into a large bowl. (This will save any onion liquid, which will help keep the meatloaf moist.) Add the beef, turkey, egg, barley, Worcestershire, remaining 2 teaspoons of the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9-by-4-inch loaf using your hands. Brush the meatloaf on all sides with half of the cranberry glaze. Bake until the glaze starts to adhere and dry slightly, about 15 minutes. Brush the meatloaf on all sides with the remaining glaze and bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 155 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with rosemary sprigs before serving.

TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF



Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf image

I always found turkey meatloaf to be quite disappointing. The flavor is usually lacking as well as the texture. Well, I have developed this version that has a great texture and a surprisingly good flavor (my brother couldn't even tell that it wasn't beef)! The secret is the quinoa, which adds wonderful texture and is much nuttier than breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute; remove from heat to cool.
  • Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture will be very moist. Shape into a loaf on a foil lined baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Rub the paste over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. This will help to ensure that your meatloaf is moist and flavorful.
  • Add plenty of seasonings. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your meatloaf. Some classic options include garlic, onion, paprika, and oregano.
  • Use a binder. A binder, such as eggs or breadcrumbs, will help to hold your meatloaf together. If you are using breadcrumbs, be sure to soak them in milk or water before adding them to the meatloaf mixture.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Simply mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef meatloaf. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With a few simple tips, you can make a turkey meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
