Growing up I never really liked meatloaf. It wasn’t because I had ever tried it and disliked the taste but more because of the way it looked and the name. Something about the name “meat loaf” was off putting to me so whenever it was an option I simply steered clear. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I tried a meat loaf for the first time and surprisingly enough I actually really liked it. Now the traditional meat loaf isn’t exactly the healthiest thing so that is what inspired me to come up with this skinny turkey meatloaf recipe.
There are so many different options of ingredients that you can use in a meatloaf so don’t be afraid to get creative. In order to cut down on the fat content that is in a traditional meatloaf, I chose to use lean ground turkey. I usually opt for the 98% fat free ground turkey.
To start, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Next we will dice an onion and cook on the stove top in a small amount of olive oil until onions become translucent.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked onions with 2 lbs of lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, 1 egg and 1 egg white, and 1/3 cup of ketchup. Ketchup is one of those condiments that is loaded with sugar and sodium. I use a ketchup with 50% less sugar, 50% less sodium and no high fructose corn syrup. For the breadcrumbs, I prefer to use Ian’s Panko breadcrumbs which is perfect for those that require a gluten free option. Stir all of the ingredients until they are completely mixed.
Next we will prepare the sauce for our meatloaf. In a separate mixing bowl combine 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Stir mixture and set aside.
Spray a loaf pan with a nonstick spray and add the turkey mixture to the pan. Spoon the sauce of the top of the turkey mixture and place into the preheated oven. Cook the meatloaf for 50 mins to 1 hour.
