I Love Hot Meat

I do. I just do.

So with that in mind, I wanted to share the recipe for the turkey meatloaf I made last night. I found the original recipe on obesityhelp, but I adapted it for my own likings. Remember, this is not rocket science, but I am coming late to the ground turkey world.

Amy's Hot Meat (aka Turkey Meatloaf)

The original recipe called for:

1 pound ground turkey
1 medium chopped/diced onion
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup sharp shredded cheese
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 egg
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Black pepper
Lawry Season Salt to taste

What I did:

1 pound ground turkey
1 medium chopped/diced onion
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup mexican blend shredded cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup honey mustard dressing

1 egg
Black pepper

Bake at 35o for one hour or until internal temperature reaches 160.

I will have to say that it was DELICIOUS! Because I added some more "liquids" to it by adding the dressing, I should have upped the bread crumbs a little. It was a little on the soft side, so if you like firmer meat, use more crumbs. And there was too much onion for my liking, but Tracey loved all the onions.

I ate seconds and thirds of this yummy goodness. Probably 5 ounces total. I felt like a little piggy...but that was just because usually I can't finish what is on my plate...and I started with a small serving.

If you make it...enjoy!

I brought a slice for lunch today and it went down without getting stuck...which is a HUGE bonus for me. Usually I can't do next day meat!

Happy Wednesday!

  3. Yummmy. I love meat loaf, but am the only one crazy about it at my house, so I make it in muffin tins, so I pop them in the freezer and have it anytime I get a hankering.

  5. Mary-weellll...are you talking about bandster portions? It makes 16 ounces (maybe a little more with the filling) so I would say I could get (for me) at least 4-6 servings out of it.

    Hope that helps!
