Bacon Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf
By Tammy Kresge @ www.organizeyourselfskinny.com/
As you can imagine a cheeseburger meatloaf with bacon on top taste just as good as it sounds. I kept the recipe lean by using ground turkey. The cheeseburger flavor was achieved by using hamburger seasoning, a mixture of ketchup and mustard, worcestershire sauce, grated parmesan/romano cheese, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. This meatloaf is all cheeseburger!
To bring this cheeseburger meatloaf to the next level I decided to throw some bacon on top. Yes, bacon! I thought for a brief second to use turkey bacon but then I decided to go with the real stuff. I used Applegate organic bacon.
THIS MEATLOAF IS AMAZING!
And….wanna know what else is awesome about this recipe. It freezes great. You can freeze this one of two ways. First you can prep all the ingredients, form it into a loaf, and freeze it raw. Thaw for a day or so in the refrigerator before you are ready to cook it. Obviously, if it’s still a little frozen it will need to cook longer.
My favorite way to freeze this meatloaf is to cook it completely, let it cool, then portion it out into single servings for super easy lunches or dinners. It reheats perfectly.
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 55 mins
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Serves: 7
Ingredients
1 slice whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons milk
1.33 lb ground turkey
1 teaspoon hamburger seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ salt
¼ pepper
1 tablespoon worchestshire sauce
¼ cup grated parmesan/romano cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs or regular bread crumbs
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons mustard
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and ketchup.
Set aside ½ of the mixture.
In a large bowl mix together the bread and milk until it forms a paste.
Then add in the ground turkey, hamburger seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic, worchestshire sauce, grated parmesan/romano, eggs, breadcrumbs, ½ of the ketchup mixture, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Using your hands mix together all the ingredients until they are distributed evenly.
Place the meat mixture into a 7 x11 or 9 x 11 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and form it into a loaf.
Spread the rest of the ketchup mixture on top of the loaf then lay the 6 slices of bacon over the loaf, tucking underneath if needed.
Place meatloaf into the oven and cook for 55 minutes or until cooked through.
(Mine cooked perfectly at 55 minutes.)
Turn the oven to broil and broil the meatloaf for 3-5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
Remove meatloaf from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
Notes
Make-ahead instructions
Cook meatloaf completely, cool, and then cut into portions. Place into containers and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
