Turkey And Stuffing Meatloaf
MEATLOAF | |
2 tbsp | unsalted butter, plus more for greasing |
1½ cups | unseasoned stuffing mix (170 g) |
¾ cup | chicken stock (180 g) |
1 cup | yellow onion (150 g), finely diced |
½ cup | celery (112 g), finely diced |
½ cup | carrot (75 g), finely diced |
1½ tsp | kosher salt, divided |
½ tsp | freshly ground black pepper, divided |
1¼ tsp | Schwartz® Rubbed Sage, divided |
1½ lb | ground turkey (675 g) |
1 large | egg, beaten |
CRANBERRY GLAZE | |
½ cup | jellied whole-berry cranberry sauce (120 g) |
¼ cup | ketchup (60 g) |
2 tsp | dijon mustard |
½ tsp | kosher salt |
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan). 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 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! |
