Turkey Meatloaf
 
Ingredients
  • FOR MEATLOAF:
  • 1 pound ground turkey (or ground beef if preferred)
  • ½ large brown onion (or 1 small brown onion), finely diced (approximately 1 cup)
  • 2 small garlic, minced
  • 1 small carrot, grated (about ¼ cup) - optional
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat milk
  • Salt and pepper, 2 dashes of each
  • Non-stick cooking oil spray
  • FOR GLAZE:
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. In a small saucepan, make the glaze. Combine the ketchup, mustard and brown sugar. Heat the sauce until the brown sugar melts. About 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine ground turkey, egg, panko break crumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, shredded carrots, milk, and salt and pepper. Incorporate all ingredients. (I use my hands to knead the mixture.)
  4. Line 9 x 13 baking dish with foil. Spray with non-stick cooking oil. Place the meatloaf mixture on the foil, shaping into a long flat rectangular loaf.
  5. Spread the sauce over the meatloaf, making sure to cover the entire meatloaf generously. OPTIONAL: Reserve some of the glaze (about 3 tablespoons) to serve on the side with the meatloaf. My family seems to like having extra glaze on the side so sometimes I'll make more glaze than the recipe calls for.)
  6. Bake in oven for 1 hour, uncovered.
  7. Slice meatloaf and serve immediately.
