Who doesn't love a good meatloaf? A hearty, flavorful dish that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
This meatloaf however, is not what you’re thinking. For a perfect summertime twist - we are elevating this comfort classic with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, BBQ sauce and a pop of fresh herbs. This recipe combines the richness of feta cheese, the tanginess of sun-dried tomatoes, and the juiciness of turkey, making it a delicious dinner option - all summer long!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Turkey
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 3 Tbsp Sour Cream
- 2 Eggs
- 2-3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp All-Seasoning Salt
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (Parmesan Herb or Italian)
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
To Make:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 3 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, start by lightly beating the eggs.
- Add all remaining ingredients - except the BBQ sauce - and mix together, making sure they're well combined but not overworked. The key to a juicy meatloaf is not to overmix the ingredients.
- Add the mixture to the greased loaf pan and gently smooth the top for even cooking.
- Bake the meatloaf uncovered for 20 minutes.
- After the first 20 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and top it with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce (or more if desired). Return the meatloaf to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes. The total baking time should be 40 minutes (& internal temp is at least 165°F).
- Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Additional Notes:
- This recipe is pretty versatile. Feel free to play around with different flavors of Feta cheese, BBQ sauce, and herbs.
- The meatloaf pairs well with a variety of sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted red potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp wedge salad are all great choices.
So there you have it, a delectable summer twist to a classic comfort food. Whether you're cooking for your family or preparing a meal for guests, this Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Turkey Meatloaf is sure to impress. Enjoy!
