Healthy Meatloaf & Meatballs With Gravy Oamc
- 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey breast
- 1 1/4 lbs 90% lean ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs (preferably unseasoned)
- 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
- Gravy
- 1 (7/8 ounce) envelope brown gravy mix
- 1/4 cup cold black coffee
- 1 cup water
- Position oven racks near the center of the oven to allow room for the two pans.
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0F Line 2 jelly roll pans (low-sided baking pans) with foil; spray with a cooking oil spray, such as Pam.
- In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, soup mix, breadcrumbs and milk. Make sure it's very well mixed - you don't want to see streaks of turkey or beef. A stand mixer with a paddle blade on low speed makes quick work of it.
- At this point, you can form the meat mixture into one meatloaf and meatballs as I do, or all meatballs or two meatloaves as you wish. Meatloaf should be formed directly on a jelly roll pan. Shape it into an oval about 3" high. Please don't use a loaf pan. Cooking it in a loaf pan will result in a steamed texture. Cooking it in an open pan will allow a nice brown crust to form.
- Spray top and sides of meatloaf with Pam.
- Put meatloaf into the oven and REDUCE oven temperature to 375u0b0F Bake 45 - 60 minutes. Test for doneness with thermometer - 160u0b0F.
- Remember, this contains poultry, it MUST be well done. When done, remove to a platter, slice and serve with gravy. To freeze, slice, allow to cool and wrap individual slices airtight. Thaw before re-heating.
- While the meatloaf starts cooking, form the rest of the meat mixture into 1" meatballs. A small ice cream style scoop works well and makes uniform sized balls. Place the balls on a jelly roll pan. Spray meatballs with Pam and bake 30 - 40 minutes, turning after 20 minutes. Test for doneness (160F). Freeze meatballs on the pan, after they are frozen, remove to a ziptop freezer bag.
- To serve, combine gravy ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add frozen meatballs and simmer for 7-10 minutes, then drain and add to gravy. Good with noodles.
