Easy Weeknight Turkey Meatloaf

So many of your comfort food favorites can still be enjoyed, even while on the Elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet, and meatloaf is one of them. This Turkey Meatloaf is lighter than the classic beef-based versions.7 Ground Turkey Recipes Everyone Will Gobble Right Up!

Turkey and oyster mushrooms, scallions and carrots make our turkey meatloaf super moist – and yet, it is as easy as dumping everything into a bowl, mixing, shaping your loaf and throwing it in the oven.

I have included a Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup, which goes on top of the meatloaf before it goes in the oven and is also served alongside. It is an extra step but you will see that it is very easy and incredibly tasty. The Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes add a smokiness and depth that we just love.

Turkey Meatloaf with Mushrooms & Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup

Our Turkey Meatloaf with Mushrooms & Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup is easy enough to make on a weeknight, but fancy enough for guests. Make two loaves and enjoy some meatloaf sandwiches!

Makes: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Author: Dédé Wilson

Ingredients:

Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup:

Turkey Meatloaf:

  • 2 slices low FODMAP sandwich bread, such as Udi’s White Sandwich bread
  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) lactose-free milk, whole or 2%
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil
  • 1 cup (64 g) chopped scallions, green parts only
  • 1/2 pound (225 g) oyster mushrooms, trimmed of their hard stems, and finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, scrubbed, stem end trimmed away, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds (570 g) ground turkey
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Preparation:

  1. For the Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup: Place tomatoes, including juice, and roasted red pepper in food processor fitted with metal blade. Pulse on and off, then process until fairly smooth. Scrape into saucepan.
  2. Add brown sugar, vinegar, Garlic-Infused Oil and lemon juice and stir together well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over low medium heat and cook for about 8 minutes or until mixture thickens a bit. Cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Ketchup is ready to use or may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  3. For the Meatloaf: Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
  4. Tear the bread into small pieces right into a large mixing bowl. Add milk and allow to soak for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is shimmering add the scallions and sauté for a minute or two until they begin to soften. Add chopped mushrooms and shredded carrots and sauté over medium heat, stirring often, until softened. Add thyme and season well with salt and pepper. The mushrooms will throw off some liquid and you want to continue cooking until the mixture dries out a bit. Cool until just barely warm.
  6. Add vegetable mixture and ground turkey to bowl with soaked bread. Add eggs, too, parsley and Worcestershire sauce and mix together well. The mixture will be moist. Make a nice big slightly oval loaf in an ovenproof dish or skillet. Slather the top with some of the ketchup, using image to guide you. Place in oven and cook until an instant thermometer reads 170°F/77°C when inserted in the center of the meatloaf, about 45 minutes. Allow meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes. Serve with extra ketchup. Leftover meatloaf can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips

  • Meatloaf sandwiches anyone? We LOVE meatloaf sliced cold as a sandwich with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Add a schmear of the tomato sauce, if you like. Try it with sourdough or lofo bread.
