Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds ground turkey (preferably dark meat only)
2 eggs
3 ounces tomato paste (1/2 of 1 small can, reserving rest for the sauce)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 ounces tomato paste (from reserved 1/2 can)
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 small red pepper, seeded, cored, and roughly chopped
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
15 grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf and work together completely by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is uniform. Place meat mixture into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 11 inches long and 4 inches wide. It is important to form it like this so that it cooks evenly throughout. The loaf should be in the middle of the pan with room on both sides for the sauce to pool.
  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Cover the meatloaf with the sauce and allow excess sauce to pool around the meatloaf. Cover pan with aluminum foil but avoid contact with meat loaf by leaving at least a couple inches of space between the top of the meatloaf and the foil. Bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake 45 minutes longer. Let rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

This meatloaf was delicious! I used a jarred red pepper sauce and it was still very flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the meatloaf turned out great. I used ground chicken instead of turkey and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This meatloaf was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might add some more moisture next time, maybe some extra eggs or bread crumbs.

I'm not a big fan of turkey meatloaf, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful, and the red pepper sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The red pepper sauce was especially good. I used a jarred sauce, but I think it would be even better if I made it from scratch next time.

This turkey meatloaf was absolutely delicious! The red pepper sauce added a tangy flavor that really complemented the meatloaf. I will definitely be making this again.
