Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf


Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

Serves 3-4.

Turkey meatloaf can't compete with traditional, but it's a nice change of pace and a healthier alternative. And on January 4, after weeks of holiday parties and Christmas cookies, that may be just what you're looking for.
Adapted from AllRecipes.com

1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 egg
1/2 t. salt
dash pepper
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c. ketchup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and form into loaf shape. Bake in a loaf pan or standing alone in the middle of the baking dish for one hour and fifteen minutes. Top with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or bacon before baking if desired.

You can also form into individual meatloaves, which is what we always do with my traditional meatloaf recipe. If following this method, bake for 50 minutes-1 hour.
