No, not that Meatloaf!!
So I must admit, I'm not a very huge fan of meatloaf, as I find it to be a bit bland, and boring. But I think this recipe sort of rocks, so give it a go! I hope you enjoy it!
Note: You'll notice that Turkey is in parentheses. That's because you can use any kind of ground meat you'd like. Typically, folks use ground beef for meatloaf, so that would be a completely acceptable substitution
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 tblsp dried sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 small onion
1-2 scallions
1-2 hot peppers
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
1.5 tsp salt
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
Garden herbs (optional)
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp ground cumin
Worcestershire sauce
1 tblsp honey
Note: Preheat oven to 325 degrees before you get started
Step 1: Place meat in a large bowl and add sage, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper to it
Don't mix until you've added all the solid ingredients in, so you don't overwork the loaf |
Step 2: Grind up some bread in a food processor to make 1/2 cup bread crumbs and add to meat
Of course you can just use regular bread crumbs if you would like |
Step 4: Crush garlic in garlic press and add to meat
You can also just mince the garlic if you don't have a press. Crushing it, allows for it to be finer and to be spread throughout meat. |
If you prefer, you can use ground cayenne pepper instead. |
I happen to be growing cilantro, parsley, basil, and rosemary, so I added a small bunch in. |
Step 8: Beat the eff separately, and add to meat mix
Step 9: Spray or oil loaf pan
Step 10: Press meat into pan
Step 11: Place meat into oven for 10 minutes
While loaf starts cooking, make glaze
Step 12: Combine ketchup, cumin, Worcestershire, and honey into a bowl and whisk well
Step 13: Take loaf out of oven and using a pastry or bbq brush, brush the glaze over the top of the loaf
Enjoy!! |
