Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Directions

Ingredients :

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

7 slices turkey bacon

or more to taste

1 pound extra lean ground turkey

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 egg

½ small onion

diced

1 slice French bread

crumbled

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

or more to taste

2 teaspoons garlic powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar

Methods :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook turkey bacon until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble when cool.

Mix cooked bacon with ground turkey, Cheddar cheese, egg, onion, crumbled French bread, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper; turn the turkey meatloaf mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and form into a loaf shape in the middle of the dish.

Mix ketchup, yellow mustard, and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar. Spread the mixture over the turkey loaf.

Bake the turkey loaf in the preheated oven until the juices run clear, loaf is no longer pink in the middle, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees F), 45 minutes to 1 hour.
