it isn’t often I say, these leftovers are so good I should take them to a co-worker. But seriously, Tyler Florence’s meatloaf out of Family Meals is really spectacular. I am often asked, ‘whatcha got for lunch?’ because it is usually a pretty decent answer with some kind of leftovers or doctored up tuna.
Meatloaf has come up a couple of times lately so I figured it was time to share.
Tolan’s Glazed Turkey Meatl Loaf – serves 8
2 slices soft white bread, diced in 1″ pieces
2 cups milk
1 large yellow onion, small dice
1 cup diced thick cut bacn, plus 6-8 strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
2# ground turkey (we don’t buy all white but a mix w/ dark and white meat)
1 large egg
3 T ketchup
2 T Worcestershire Sauce
2 t salt
Glaze
heat 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup dijon and 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar over low heat.
Preheat your oven to 350 and line a baking sheet w/ parchment. This makes cleanup much nicer.
Combine milk and bread in a bowl and set aside.
In a skilled saute the bacon to lightly crispy. Add onion and saute to translucent. Add garlic and saute one more minute. Transfer to a large bowl on the counter and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Add the ground turkey, egg, ketchup, worcestershire and salt. Lightly mix to combine. *Don’t overmix or you get tough meat.
Form the meat into two ovals on your parchment. Lay your strips of bacon on top and cover with glaze. Bake for about 1 hour or until you hit 160 internally. Let rest 15 or so minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!
