1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 c italian bread crumbs
1/2 c milk

FOR THE GLAZE
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp honey

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl place the meatloaf ingredients (minus the turkey and sausage) and mix well.
  • 2. Add the meats and mix well. I do this with my hands.
  • 3. Place the meatloaf mix in a well greased pan. I line mine with parchment paper. Pat down to shape loaf in to desired shape.
  • 4. Mix the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and frost the top of the meatloaf. Add some extra freshly ground pepper on top if you desire.
  • 5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn up heat to 450 degrees the last 10 minutes to crisp and brown.
  • 6. Remove from oven and rest on a hot pad for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
