This is THE best meatloaf recipe I've ever made. I tweaked it to suit our tastes and found perfection. YUM!
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1-7 oz. can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobe sauce
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped cilantro
1/2 c. regular oats
1/4 c. tomato sauce
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
2 lbs. of ground turkey
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare meat loaf, remove 1-2 chipotle chiles and 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from can; reserve remaining chiles and sauce for another use. Finely chop chiles. Combine chile, adobo sauce, onion, through to the ground turkey in a large bowl, stirring to combine. Place turkey mixture in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
To prepare topping, combine 1/4 cup tomato sauce, ketchup, and hot sauce in a small bowl; brush mixture evenly over meat loaf. Cover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until thermometer registers 160°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Goes well with garlic mashed potatoes and a salad.
