Healthier Meatloaf (Ground Beef and Turkey Mix)
This healthy meatloaf blends lean ground beef and ground turkey for a juicy, flavorful dinner with a sweet, tangy ketchup glaze on top. It comes together with basic ingredients for an easy, lighter take on a classic comfort food dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 1½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ pound ground turkey
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When hot, add onion and garlic. Saute until translucent and beginning to brown. Remove from heat.
- Combine onions with cheese, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, ketchup, salt, pepper, and beaten egg in a large bowl. Toss together until well blended.
- Mix ground meat together. Crumble over breadcrumb mixture. Mush together with your hands until it's evenly mixed.
- Spritz an 8"x4" loaf pan with cooking spray (or grease it with butter, but that would be not so healthy). Pack meat into loaf pan.
- Bake at 350ºF for 35 minutes.
- While meat loaf bakes, combine ½ cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. After the first 35 minutes, spread ketchup mixture over the meat loaf and bake an additional 5 minutes.
