Tasty Turkey Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the turkey, egg, onion, and bread crumbs. Adjust the amount of bread crumbs as needed to make a stiff mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
• Bake 1 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, or until meat is cooked through and the internal temperature is at least 170 degrees F (70 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Set aside.
• Make the meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, zucchini, onion, garlic, egg, Dijon mustard, honey, 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and parsley. Mix well.
• Add half of the meatloaf mixture to a greased loaf pan and flatten to form an even layer.
• Layer the cheese over the meatloaf layer. Top with the rest of the meatloaf and smooth the top.
• Top the meatloaf with half of the tomato sauce mixture, using a spoon or rubber spatula to spread evenly. Reserve the rest of the tomato sauce.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reads 160˚F (70˚C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
• When the meatloaf is cooked through, warm the reserved tomato sauce in the microwave or a skillet, then drizzle on top of the meatloaf.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides. (We used mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus.)
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• 2. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
• 3. In a large bowl, combine all the loaf ingredients and mix well.
• 4. Place mixture into a baking dish. Brush the sauce evenly over the top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour or until done. Allow loaf to sit for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (22 x 12 cm) loaf pan with butter and line the pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving overhang on the 2 long sides.
• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon ground sage. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
• While the vegetables cool, stir together the stuffing mix and chicken stock in a medium bowl.. Let sit for 15 minutes, until the stuffing mix is soggy and has absorbed all of the liquid.
• Once the vegetables have cooled, add the soaked stuffing mix, ground turkey, remaining teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper, remaining ¾ teaspoon ground sage, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to smooth the top.
• Bake the turkey and stuffing loaf for 25 minutes.
• While the meatloaf loaf bakes, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, ketchup, and mustard.
• Pour the glaze over the meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature 165°F (75°C).
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment to carefully lift out the meatloaf and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the zest and juice of the lemon and 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves to the butter mixture. Set aside.
• Take the giblets out of the turkey and wash the turkey inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the turkey cavity. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, halved lemon, quartered onion, and the garlic. Brush the outside of the turkey with the butter mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the turkey.
• Roast the turkey about 2 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 20 minutes.
• Slice the turkey and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Pat into an ungreased 9x5-in. loaf pan., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour. Spread remaining spaghetti sauce over loaf. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear. Freeze option: Securely wrap individual portions of cooled meat loaf in foil. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Unwrap meat loaf; reheat on a greased shallow baking pan in a preheated 350° oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 8 ingredients. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly., Transfer to a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Mix topping ingredients; spread over loaf. Bake until a thermometer reads 165°, 60-65 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the turkey in a large mixing bowl. Place a cheese grater over the bowl and grate the onion so that the onion juice gets into the meat. Fluff the turkey meat with a fork (this keeps the meat from getting too mushy), then add the bread crumbs.
• Add remaining ingredients into a small separate bowl and mix them them together to create a sauce, this insures even ingredient distribution. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and mix with either a fork or your hands gently until just combined. Even the meat mixture out in the bowl and use your fork or finger to divide it into four equal sections.
• Scoop out each section and use hand to form an oval shaped mound, like a slightly flattened meat ball. Place each section on a foil-lined baking sheet (foil makes for easy clean up!).
• Bake loaves on the middle rack at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165 degrees farenheit. Makes four servings.
