There are so many ways to make meat loaf<\/a>, and not all of them include ground beef. Ground turkey meat loaf is a healthy spin on a comfort food classic. Although the meat is lean, it still tastes fantastic. Surprisingly enough, ground turkey stays very moist as it cooks\u2014especially when you add chopped onions and grated carrots to the mix. Add in a unique topping made with quick-cooking oats and ketchup, and this turkey meat loaf recipe will soon become a staple at your dinner table.<\/p>\n This turkey meat loaf recipe is lower in calories, fat, sodium and carbohydrates than a traditional meat loaf<\/a>. That also means it\u2019s not quite as rich as meat loaf made with ground beef or pork. But that doesn’t mean it’s bland! We love how this ground turkey meat loaf tastes, and you can make it your own with a few ingredient substitutions. Utilize our variation tips to tweak this recipe to fit your preferences.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, chopped onion, shredded carrot, fat-free milk, egg substitute, ketchup, garlic powder and pepper.<\/p>\n Add the ground turkey. Mix lightly, but thoroughly.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and quick-cooking oats to make the topping.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Don\u2019t overmix the meat loaf, or it will become dense. A dense meat loaf is more likely to fall apart when you slice it.<\/p>\n Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Transfer the meat loaf mixture to the pan.<\/p>\n Spread the topping over the loaf.<\/p>\n Bake the meat loaf until a thermometer reads 165\u00b0, 60 to 65 minutes. Let the meat loaf stand for 10 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n Leftover turkey meat loaf is good in the refrigerator for three to four days. After baking, let the meat loaf cool. To store the meat loaf whole, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. To reheat it, unwrap the loaf, and transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Reheat in a 350\u00b0 oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n To store individual portions, slice the meat loaf. Store the slices in a container with a tightly fitted lid. Reheat the slices in the microwave until heated through.<\/p>\n This turkey meat loaf recipe is easy to make in advance. You can make the meat loaf mixture a day ahead. Store it in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Then, when you are ready to bake, transfer it to the loaf pan.<\/p>\n You can also freeze uncooked ground turkey meat loaf for a later date. Tightly wrap uncooked meat loaf, and store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to six months. Thaw the meat loaf in the refrigerator overnight. Then, transfer it to a baking dish, and cook it according to the directions.<\/p>\n Yes, turkey meat loaf freezes exceptionally well, and it makes a great freezer meal<\/a>. Cooked meat loaf can be frozen for up to three months. To freeze it as a whole loaf, wrap the cooled meat loaf in foil. Store it in a freezer-safe bag. For slices, wrap each piece individually, and store them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw meat loaf in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n There are so many great meat loaf sides<\/a> to choose from! Keep things healthy and serve ground turkey meat loaf with mashed cauliflower<\/a> and an easy Caesar salad<\/a>. Or go decadent and serve it with loaded mashed potatoes<\/a> and creamed peas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ground turkey meat loaf can turn out mushy if it contains too much liquid. The liquid ingredients keep the meat loaf moist, but overdoing it can make the texture way too soft. If you made any liquid additions, compensate by adding extra oats or bread crumbs.<\/p>\n Turkey meat loaf can fall apart for several reasons. Overhandling the meat can create a dry, crumbly texture. The meat loaf may become crumbly if it does not have enough binding agents (the combination of eggs, milk and bread crumbs or oats). If you follow this turkey meat loaf recipe, it should not fall apart, especially if you let it rest before slicing it. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the loaf, helping it stay together.<\/p>\n We love using leftover turkey meat loaf to make sandwiches. You can reheat meat loaf slices in the microwave, or gently fry them in a skillet to give them a crisp edge. Pair leftover meat loaf with your favorite bread, and add burger toppings<\/a> to make the sandwich complete! We also love thin-sliced meat loaf for meat loaf gyros<\/a>, and it\u2019s an excellent pizza topping<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This turkey meat loaf recipe isn,\u00c4\u00f4t just for dieters!
