Best Asian Turkey Sheet Loaf Recipes

ASIAN-STYLE TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• To Make Glaze: Combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to simmer sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Turn off heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to bake at 375 degrees F. Line a 5x10-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. When oil is hot, add onions and peppers and sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté another 5 to 7 minutes. Add water chestnuts, ginger, and garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Remove pan from heat and set vegetables aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the turkey, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sautéed vegetables. Transfer meatloaf mixture into the loaf pan.
• Brush prepared glaze over top of meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, brushing top of loaf with glaze once or twice.
• Transfer loaf to lined baking sheet and bake another 15 minutes, until thermometer registers 165 F. Let rest about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra honey-soy glaze drizzled on top.

LIGHTENED-UP ASIAN TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet
• Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Brush a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with the oil.
• Put the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, scallions, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl, and mix gently, just enough to incorporate evenly. Drop mounds of the mixture all around the prepared baking sheet, and press them into an even layer. Score the meat into 24 even squares, cutting down almost all the way. Brush the top with the hoisin sauce. Broil until the meat is browned and glazed and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 9 minutes.
• Carefully pour off any excess liquid from the cookie sheet. Rescore the meat into 24 sliders, then follow the score lines with a spatula to divide. Top each slider with a cucumber slice and a cilantro leaf.
• While the sliders are cooking, arrange the lettuce, remaining cilantro, carrots, onions and lime wedges on a serving platter. Put the peanuts and Sriracha if using in small serving bowls. Slide a spatula in the pan and let guests build their sliders with their desired toppings.

ASIAN TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook turkey over medium heat until no longer pink., Coarsely chop stir-fry vegetables; add to the pan. Stir in the teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, ginger, vinegar and oil. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Remove from the heat; stir in onions. Place a scant 1/2 cup turkey mixture on each lettuce leaf; fold lettuce over filling. Serve with additional hoisin sauce if desired.

HOISIN-GLAZED PORK AND TURKEY MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a broiler pan rack or wire rack with foil and set it on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray, then use a sharp knife to make a few slits in the foil (this will allow the fat from the meatloaf to drip down onto the baking sheet).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the panko, milk, eggs, parsley, basil, scallions, garlic, onion, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the ground pork and turkey and stir or use your hands to gently combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
• Shape the meat mixture into a 12-inch long loaf and place it on the foil-lined rack. Flatten the top slightly and square off the ends. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce and ketchup. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf and use a brush or spoon to generously coat the sides and top.
• Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until the internal temperature reads 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, brushing with glaze every 20 minutes or so. Let the meatloaf cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a platter, slice, and serve.
• Variation
• For an extra decadent loaf, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko and toast until golden brown, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue with the rest of the recipe.
