Smoky Chipotle Turkey Meatloaf
- 1 pound Ground Turkey
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Banana Peppers
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/2 teaspoons Enchilada Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Tomato Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Whole Oats (not Quick)
- 2 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoons Oregano
- 1/4 cups Tomato Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoons Hot Sauce
- 1.
- Take a rough chop to the banana peppers.
- At least quarter them.
- This will ensure that you do not get giant flashes of pepper, but subtle hints.
- 2.
- Next mince down a clove of garlic.
- For this recipe, two cloves would not be too dangerous, either.
- 3.
- Throw the peppers and the garlic into a bowl and add the egg, enchilada sauce and tomato sauce.
- Roughly mix a little.
- 4.
- Its dry ingredient time.
- Throw together a couple of tablespoons of oats and breadcrumbs.
- The oats seemed a little off to me, but they really add oomph by taking away some of the herbaciousness of the breadcrumbs, letting the turkey flavor shine more.
- Cumin and oregano are really the only spices you need for this.
- Pre-1: WAIT we forgot to ... preheat the oven to 350 degrees .
- 5.
- Moving on ... lets grab the ground turkey.
- 6.
- Mix together the ground turkey until a uniform texture.
- 7.
- Now grab a 9 x 13 pan.
- Since this is a for two recipe, you might want to grab just two mini pans, whatever your preference.
- 8.
- Evenly spread throughout the pan.
- I also made some divots into the turkey for more sauce to form in certain areas.
- Throw in to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- 9.
- Time to make the sauce.
- Start with 1/4 cup of tomato sauce.
- 10.
- Throw in a tablespoon of ketchup.
- 11.
- Next add the hot sauce.
- I use Louisiana or Franks but feel free to use Tabasco.
- But it should be a vinegar-based hot sauce.
- 12.
- After 30 minutes, pour about 90 % of the sauce over the meatloaf.
- Cover with tinfoil and throw back in for another 30 minutes.
- You might want to uncover and crank up the heat for about 10 minutes to dry out the top as mine was probably a little soupier than I would have liked it.
- And there you have it.
- An extremely easy smoky chipotle turkey meatloaf.
