Turkey Meatloaf recipe

As promised, the recipe for Turkey Meatloaf (adapted from Barefoot Contessa):

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions (1 large onions)
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (1/4 teaspoon dried)
• 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 teaspoons tomato paste
• 2 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast (use the 85% fat free or else it’ll be really dry)
• 1 cups plain dry bread crumbs (I normally take some whole grain bread, toast it and chop it up or put it in the food processor)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup ketchup

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, peppers, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

Enjoy!
