Comfort Food: Turkey Zucchini Meatloaf Recipe

02/22/2016 by The Mama Maven

Turkey Zucchini Meatloaf | The Mama Maven Blog

 

Love meatloaf? My mother-in-law introduced me to this sweet take on meatloaf, using Turkey and zucchini. I’ve adopted it as my go-to meatloaf recipe. The sweet apricot preserves and dijon mustard adds a nice kick and makes a change from a tomato sauce based meatloaf. It’s very kid friendly too!

 

Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs lean ground turkey meat
1 cup pureed zucchini
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, to make this gluten free, use gluten free breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 cube frozen garlic

Topping:
2/3 jar apricot preserves (can use apricot all fruit topping)
6 teaspoons dijon mustard

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients (except for peach preserves and dijon mustard) in a large bowl and mix well. Place mixture and shape on a large roasting pan or cookie sheet (with lip).

Take meatloaf out of oven, spread the glaze over the top. Put it back into the oven for 20 more minutes.

Check that meatloaf is done — it should be 165 degrees (use a meat thermometer).
Cut into slices and serve.
