TACO TURKEY MEATLOAF



Taco Turkey Meatloaf image

Ground turkey makes this meatloaf lighter and healthier; cheese and taco seaoning make it delicious. From betterrecipes.com. Again altered even further for calorie and fat content. You might not be able to find whole wheat bread crumbs. I usually de-crust 1-2 slices of whole wheat bread and dry in the oven and then crumble. The last two ingerdients are for the topping. Easily halved or even cut into thirds.

This a twist on Paula Deen's recipe. I didn't have enough cheddar cheese, so I added some parmesan and mozzarella. I also did not add the mayonnaise because I thought it would be too mushy. The taco seasoning was added to give a bit of a kick.

TACO MEATLOAF



Taco Meatloaf image

I found this recipe in the "Cooking with Paula Deen" magazine and prepared it for my family. It is the hands down the best meatloaf I've ever had and my family was very pleased. Give this one a try and I think you'll agree. When you do, share your thoughts. One thing I learned about preparing meatloaf; when mixing and forming it, don't manhandle it. Over handling and squeezing the ingredients into the meat to blend cause the meatloaf to be tough; handle with care and you'll be rewarded with a wonderful meal.

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup tortilla chips, crushed, whole-grain
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning mix
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salsa, mild
1/4 cup cheese, Mexican blend, reduced fat, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place a wire rack on a foil-covered bakiing sheet.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine beef, crushed chips, zucchine, onion, beans, egg, fajita seasoning and salt.
  • Form mixture into a loaf and place on a prepared wired-rack.
  • Bake 40 minutes.
  • Top with cheese and salsa.
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in meatloaf registers 165 degrees.
  • Note: Meatloaf can also be baked on the rack of an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan. I covered my wire rack with foil and cut slits in it randomly so fat could drain off onto the baking sheet preventing the meatloaf from soaking in fat as it cooks.

TACO MEATLOAF



Taco Meatloaf image

I like meatloaf, my DH likes tacos. We both LOVED this recipe! Found in TOH "Comfort Foods Book **Updated to add -- I have done a few revisions on this recipe to include a different pan size for the "boil over" issue. I have also found that if turkey and beef are combined it is a bit drier, you can use all turkey or all beef it is really up to you.
