In the Kitchen: Turkey Meatloaf
November 26, 2014
Ingredients
1-1/4 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 zucchini squash, chopped fine
2 large garlic cloves, chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly, create 1 or 2 loaves. Prepare a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 40 minutes.
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Thoughts
This was a halfhearted attempt to use up the ground turkey I’d defrosted for another recipe and sneak in some vegetables as well – surprisingly, it was really good!
Bonus points for being incredibly easy to toss together and cook. It just takes a while to actually cook.
That’s ingenious! Definitely keeping this one in the recipe binder.
Happy Thanksgiving! š
I’m tempted to start thinking of other veggies to add, like carrots and … … ?
Going to try it in the future. I’ve only ever made meatloaf once or twice. We don’t eat much beef in my family so will try this. š
I love meatloaf more than it deserves probably. I also love eating beef, but not cooking (or, ahem, paying for it), so this is a good way to get around that.
Five stars for being delicious and so easy to make. You are my go-to for recipes that are truly yummy and flavorful and don’t involve a gazillion ingredients. Thank you and please keep sharing these wonderful foods!
