Turkey meatloaf

Who doesn't love meatloaf? I know my family could eat meatloaf everyday if they could. To keep things healthy I make the meatloaf using ground turkey, I actually use ground turkey all the time in place of ground beef, I actually don't remember a time when I ever used ground beef, there is nothing wrong with it, so you could definitely use it in place of the ground turkey if that is your preference no judging here. 

Turkey meatloaf:

3 lbs ground turkey

2 eggs

2 cups Italian bread crumbs

3 tbsp worshtershire sauce

2 cups milk

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground pepper

1 onion diced

3 cloves garlice minced

2 tbsp butter

4 tbsp brown sugar

4 tbsp yellow mustard

2/3 cups ketchup 

1 tbsp worshtershire sauce

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

Start off by melting the butter in a pan over medium low heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions become translucent. 

In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, worshtershire sauce, salt and pepper and finally the sautéed onions and garlic. Mix together with your hands or with a spoon until all the ingredients are completely incorporated. 

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with some olive oil. Take the meatloaf mix and form a log on the baking sheet. 

In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, mustard, ketchup and worshtershire sauce together. 

Spread the ketchup mixture over the entire log of meatloaf. 

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for an hour. 

After an hour I like to turn the broiler on in the oven and broil the meatloaf on high for 2 minutes just to caramelize the ketchup mixture a bit. 

Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. If you cut into it right away it will completely crumble. It will still be delicious but it won't be as pretty. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
