In this healthy meatloaf recipe, we’ve lightened things up with the perfect blend of ground beef and chicken or turkey and a good dose of veggies to make it moist.
Ingredients :
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground turkey or ground chicken
½ cup Panko bread crumbs
1 large egg
1 carrot chopped
1 small onion chopped
¼ cup barbecue sauce or ketchup or chili sauce
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
Topping
¾ cup barbecue sauce or half bbq sauce and half chili sauce
Directions :
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a blender combine egg, carrot, onion, bbq sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and pepper. Blend until the carrot & onion are finely chopped and the mixture is fairly smooth (a few chunks are ok).
In a large bowl, combine blended mixture, beef, turkey and bread crumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
Spray a foil-lined pan very well with non-stick spray. Place the meat on the pan and form into a loaf shape about 4" wide x 3" high. Cover with foil to create a seal.
Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil, spread topping over meatloaf, and bake an additional 15-30 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 160°F. (The temperature will rise to 165°F while resting)
