Boring? Meatloaf? Nah. Not when you can jazz it up! And, make it healthy while you're at it. I use ground turkey instead of ground beef so there's less fat and cholesterol. But, it's never as good as ground beef and more mushy. So, I add more ingredients such as SALT, to make it taste more like the real thing. Then I add some pinto beans, chili powder and other ingredients, and I have to say, it tastes quite good. It's easy to make and well, not all that boring either!
Ingredients
-ground turkey 1/2 lb.
-1 egg
-half cup of milk (or more until you get the proper consistency)
-1 cup bread crumbs
-chopped onion
-minced garlic
-2 tsp salt or to taste
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp ground mustard
-1 tsp Sage
-1 tsp Cilantro
-1/2 tsp black pepper
Mix all ingredients together. Place in loaf pan. I use the, Perfect Meatloaf pan so the fat drains out of the meatloaf and to the bottom of the pan. Put ketchup on top and some honey BBQ sauce.
Bake for 1 hour. Serve with corn bread for a real, Mexican-esqe pairing.
Enjoy
