Ground Turkey Meatloaf with a Kick image

This moist and versatile meatloaf is packed with flavor. I make it with hot peppers to add a spicy layer that complements but doesn't overpower. For mild taste preferences, substitute green bell pepper for the hot peppers.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds ground turkey
1 ¾ cups skim milk, or more as needed
4 eggs, beaten
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, diced
2 fresh serrano peppers, diced
1 large carrot, shredded
½ large yellow onion, finely chopped
½ cup snipped fresh chives
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried sage
5 slices whole grain bread, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix together ground turkey, milk, eggs, jalapeno peppers, serrano peppers, carrot, onion, chives, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, salt, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, mustard powder, black pepper, and sage in a large bowl.
  • Place 5 slices bread in the bowl of a food processor; pulse for a few seconds at a time until bread is ground into crumbs. Add bread crumbs to turkey mixture. Rake a fork across the surface of the mixture. When the surface barely retains the fork impression, the consistency is correct. Add more bread crumbs if mixture is too moist; add more milk if mixture is too dry.
  • Form turkey mixture into a loaf shape and place in a large cast-iron skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I made this meatloaf with 93% lean ground turkey, and it was still very moist. I highly recommend using a leaner ground turkey for this recipe.
