TURKEY AND BEEF MEATLOAF



Turkey and Beef Meatloaf image

My intent was to make Cranberry Bog Turkey Burgers, ala Rachael Ray. Upon discovering that I had defrosted both beef and turkey rather than 2 pounds of turkey, I took her recipe and added my own twists to make a tender and moist meatloaf. The listed amounts of spices and herbs yield a mild flavor so if you like more punch, you'll want to increase them. For better slicing, let the loaves rest after baking or they will crumble under your knife. Mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce make great side dishes with this recipe.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 loaves, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb lean ground beef (I use 90/10%)

2 slices bread, cubed
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter

  • In a medium fry pan, melt the butter then add the apple, onion & celery. Sprinkle with salt & saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Stir apple, onion, celery mixture into the meats then add the bread, milk & eggs.
  • Work the mixture gently (I use my hands) until well combined.

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.
