Tasty Turkey Meatloaf with Mustard

Serves 7 in about 1 hour. A stove recipe built around panko bread crumbs and brown sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs lean ground turkey (85%-93% lean is best)
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup milk, or half and half
• ½ sweet onion, grated or minced (or 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion)
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning (or italian seasoning)
• ½ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Method

1. Warm oven to 350° F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all of the meatloaf mixture ingredients until well incorporated. Try not to overwork the mixture.
3. Set on a baking sheet lined with parchment and use your hands to shape it into a loaf of even thickness (If all you have is a loaf pan, that will work fine, you might use less of the topping, which you can save for dipping).
4. Cook for 50-60 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to take the internal temperature of the meatloaf. If it reads 165 degrees, then it is done. If less than that, put it back in the oven for 15 minutes and take temperature again.
5. If you have any of the topping sauce left, you can use it as a dip, or spread it over the cooked meatloaf and serve.
