Turkey Meatloaf
Makes 4 servings
Look for ground turkey breast to make this updated comfort food. Regular
ground turkey often contains some skin, making it higher in fat and
calories. Remaining turkey sausages can be wrapped and frozen to use
another day.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 slices whole-wheat bread, torn into small pieces
1/3 cup 1% milk
1 large egg
12 ounces ground turkey breast
4 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons ketchup
To Make:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9"" x 9"" glass baking dish with
cooking spray.
Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion
and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 6 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, put the bread in a large bowl. With a fork, stir in the milk
and egg. Let stand for 5 minutes, until softened, then mash the bread
with the fork.
Add the ground turkey, sausage, poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper,
and the sautéed onion and bell pepper. Mix gently until just blended.
(Mixture will be soft.)
Shape into a free-form loaf in the prepared baking pan. Spoon the
ketchup on top and spread gently with a knife.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the
center of the loaf registers 170°F. Cool for a few minutes before
slicing.
