This soft-textured meatloaf is speckled with vegetables. My kids and I love the flavor of this dish. There's always enough for sandwiches the next day and crumbled into spaghetti sauce the day after that. Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey |
1 pound ground pork |
1 tablespoon cooking oil |
1 carrot, minced |
1/2 red bell pepper, minced |
1/2 onion, minced |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/3 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach |
1/2 cup bread crumbs |
1/2 cup wheat germ (optional) |
2 eggs, room temperature |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Set the ground turkey and ground pork out at room temperature to warm slightly.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the carrot, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and spinach in the heated oil until soft; set aside to cool.
4. Mix together the turkey, pork, bread crumbs, wheat germ, eggs, 2 tablespoons ketchup, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the vegetable mixture and continue to mix until evenly combined; shape into a loaf; lay on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Whisk together the honey and 1 tablespoon ketchup in a small bowl; spread over the meatloaf.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 60 to 70 minutes; remove to a serving platter and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
