This is a savory meatloaf recipe crafted with ground turkey instead of traditional beef. It features a blend of breadcrumbs, sautéed onions, garlic, and herbs to add moisture and flavor, topped with Bobby Flay’s signature chipotle ketchup glaze. The result is a juicy, robust meatloaf with a balance of spice and sweetness.
Ground turkey (preferably dark meat) – 2 pounds
Breadcrumbs (plain or panko) – ¾ cup
Milk – ½ cup
Eggs – 2 large
Onion (finely chopped) – 1 medium
Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
Red bell pepper (finely diced) – ½ cup
Fresh parsley (chopped) – 2 tablespoons
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
Ketchup – ½ cup
Chipotle in adobo (minced) – 1 tablespoon
Brown sugar – 1 tablespoon
Apple cider vinegar – 1 tablespoon
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) – Line a baking sheet or grease a loaf pan.
Sauté vegetables – Heat olive oil in a pan, cook onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until soft. Cool slightly.
Mix the meatloaf base – In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 2 minutes. Then add eggs, sautéed vegetables, ground turkey, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Form the loaf – Shape mixture into a loaf on a baking sheet or pack into a loaf pan.
Prepare glaze – In a small bowl, mix ketchup, chipotle, brown sugar, and vinegar.
Glaze and bake – Brush half of the glaze over the loaf. Bake for 45 minutes, then add remaining glaze and bake another 15–20 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest before slicing – Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
