Turkey Meatloaf
So moist, so flavorful, makes an excellent meatloaf sandwich the next day!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 T. olive oil
- 1 sm. yellow onion peeled and diced
- 2 lbs. ground turkey
- 2 lg. eggs lightly beaten
- 1 sm. granny smith apple peeled and grated (about 1/2 c.)
- 1/2 c. dried bread crumbs Italian or plain
- 1/4 c. chicken broth or apple juice
- 1 T. minced garlic
- 1 T. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1-2 tsp. fennel seeds (I like it with extra fennel)
- 1/2 tsp. each salt and coarsely ground black pepper or to taste
- barbeque or chili sauce for brushing on top of the meatloaf, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Add the olive oil and diced onions to a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally about 10 to 15 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add ground turkey, eggs, grated apple, bread crumbs, chicken broth, garlic, and spices. Add the cooked onions to the bowl. Using a large wooden or metal spoon, gently mix together until combined. Do not over-mix.
- Turn the meat onto the prepared baking sheet and form into a 12 x 5-inch oval loaf. Brush the top with barbeque or chili sauce.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and loosely cover with foil, let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
