Turkey Meatloaf with Kale and Tomatoes

Directions

Ingredients :

1 pound lean ground turkey

1 ½ sleeves buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)

crushed

1 ½ cups thinly sliced kale

1 yellow onion

chopped

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

½ cup barbeque sauce

2 eggs

¼ cup whole-grain mustard

4 cloves garlic

minced

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

6 cherry tomatoes

or as desired

Methods :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Mix turkey, cracker crumbs, kale, onion, Cheddar cheese, barbeque sauce, eggs, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt together in a large bowl using your hands. Pat 1/2 of the turkey mixture into a loaf pan. Insert tomatoes into turkey mixture and top with the remaining turkey mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
