Turkey Meatloaf With Bacon, Carmelized Onions, And Smoked Mozzarella

• 1 onion small dice
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 2 bacon slices cut in 1/4" slices
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 salt teaspon
• 5 pepper grinds
• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs slightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 4 ounces smoked mozzarella shredded
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil chopped, chopped
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 teaspoons chipotle sauce Tobasco brand
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium high heat. Add bacon and onions, salt and pepper, sautee over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until onions have browned a bit and bacon has crisped. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Remove mixture from heat and cool.
3. Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Add onion mixture, 1/4 c ketchup, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, oregano salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine, it really is the only way to get it all mixed together thoroughly. Just ask Harrison!
4. In a loaf pan, place half of the turkey mixture. Top with sun dried tomatoes and smoked mozzarella. Put the remainder of the turkey mixture on top of the cheese.
5. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, chipotle sauce, (or any other kind of peppery sauce you have/like) and brown sugar. Brush on top of meatloaf.
6. Cook meatloaf 1 1/2 hours or until internal temp is 165 degrees with a meat thermometer. Given that it is ground turkey, you really want to make sure it is fully cooked.
7. Let cool sightly, 5 or so minutes, and it will be a bit easier to slice and serve. OBVIOUSLY, you eat meatloaf with mashed potatoes and peas. I think it is a rule somewhere. If you want to be creative, find your unique filling, and serve it without your favorites. Have fun, it's meatloaf!!
