Meatloaf isn't one of my favorite foods, but every now and then, I don't mind a little loaf of meat. It's comfort food and makes you feel warm inside when it's cold outside. If meatloaf creeps you out, you can also use this as filling for stuffed peppers.
Get your ingredients ready!
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1/4 milk
- 1 cup of wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 8 ounces of ground linguica or any other sausage you enjoy
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/4 teaspoons of Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
In a skillet, heat oil and cook the onion until tender, approximately 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine the bread crumbs and milk. And in a third bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the ketchup and 2 teaspoons of the Worcestershire sauce.
In the onion bowl, add the ground turkey, linguica, the rest of the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, the beaten egg, seasoning mix, garlic powder, and bread crumb mixture. Take your rings off, and get your hands dirty! Mix well together using your hands. Once mixed well, form into a loaf, and put into your loaf pan.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let some of fat run out...careful!...don't let the loaf fall out of the pan! Then spread the ketchup mixture from the third bowl over the top (see right). Place back into the oven and continue to bake for about 30-45 minutes more. You can check to see if its done by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the meat loaf. The meat loaf should be 160 degrees F.Serve with creamy dreamy mashed potatoes and some corn! You can always take the leftovers and make a Sheppard's pie or as they say in Australia - a meat pie! They like to peas versus corn, so whatever makes your belly happy!
