BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF



Best Turkey Meatloaf image

After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 pounds ground turkey
2 large eggs
1/2 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, sage, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring to incorporate. Stir in the Worcestershire. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Add the panko to a large mixing bowl and pour over the chicken broth so the breadcrumbs soak up the liquid. Add the turkey, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the cooled onion mixture and mix well with your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into a 10-by-5-inch loaf on the foil-lined baking sheet. Coat the top and sides with the ketchup.
  • Put the meatloaf in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 165 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Thanksgiving or any celebration is the perfect time to gather with allies and enjoy delicious meals. One of the classic dishes is turkey meatloaf, which could be an excellent dish served either for dinner or lunch. Ground turkey meatloaf is a healthier alternative to the traditional beef meatloaf. It is made from lean turkey meat, which is high in protein, low in fat, and a great source of vitamins and minerals. In this article, we will provide valuable tips for making the perfect ground turkey meatloaf recipe for your next Thanksgiving or celebration.

Choosing the Right Ground Turkey Meat

To make the perfect turkey meatloaf, it's crucial to choose the right ground turkey meat. Ground turkey meatloaf is graded in three categories, 90%, 93%, and 99% lean, depending on the amount of fat in the meat. Choosing the 99% lean meat is the best option as it contains the least amount of fat, making the meatloaf healthier. Also, it is essential to purchase fresh ground turkey meat to ensure that the meatloaf will have the best texture and taste.

Add Vegetables and Spices to the Meatloaf

Adding different vegetables and spices will make your turkey meatloaf more flavorful and nutritious. Vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers add texture and moisture. Adding garlic, ginger, or your favorite spices will give your turkey meatloaf a unique flavor.

Use the Right Binder

The binder is a crucial element to hold the meatloaf together; it helps keep the meatloaf moist and tender. You could use different kinds of binders such as eggs, bread crumbs, rolled oats, or crackers. When making a meatloaf, it's essential to use the right amount of binder; too much binder could make your turkey meatloaf tough and dry.

Allow Enough Cooking Time

The cooking time of your turkey meatloaf is critical. Overcooking the meatloaf will make it dry and tough, while undercooking it could lead to food poisoning. The cooking time depends on the size of the meatloaf, the temperature of the oven, and the kind of meat thermometer you use. Using a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf is the best way to ensure it's perfectly cook. The internal temperature of the turkey meatloaf should be at least 165°F.

Use the Right Cooking Temperature

The cooking temperature should be high enough to cook the turkey meatloaf evenly but not too high to burn it. The recommended temperature is 350°F. If you want to speed up the cooking time, you could raise the temperature to 375°F, but you have to keep an eye on the meatloaf and reduce the cooking time.

Allow the Meatloaf to Rest Before Serving

After taking your turkey meatloaf out of the oven, allow it to rest for ten minutes before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute back into the meatloaf, making it more moist and tender.

Conclusion

Ground turkey meatloaf is a perfect dish to serve for Thanksgiving or any celebration. It is delicious, healthy, and easy to prepare. By following these valuable tips, you could make the perfect turkey meatloaf that will impress your allies and make your celebrations more enjoyable. Remember to choose the right meat, add vegetables and spices, use the right binder, allow enough cooking time, use the right cooking temperature, and allow the meatloaf to rest before serving. Happy cooking!
