Best Turkey Meatloaf

2 lbs ground turkey, ground beef, or ground pork (or a combination of any of these)
3/4 cup crushed buttery round crackers, plain bread crumbs or rolled oats.
1/2 cup milk
1 small onion chopped
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 tsp. Oregano

Topping:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon worcestershire

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly roll pan.
2. Mix ground turkey, buttery round cracker crumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl; shape into a loaf and place on the prepared jelly roll pan.
3. Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.
4. Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping. Return loaf to oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
5. You can also divide this recipe into 12 balls and cook in muffin tins. Just reduce the cook time to 15 minutes, then add the topping and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the temp reaches 160 degrees F.

Recipe from Alaskafromscratch.com

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Sauce:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 (15oz) can plain tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• salt to taste (my tomato sauce already includes a fair amount of salt, so I didn't need much, maybe 1/4 teaspoon; some tomato sauces have less so you may need to add more)
• 6 ounces mozzarella, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade
For the Garlic Bread Buns:
• 6 long sandwich rolls
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment.
2. To a large bowl, add the ground turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, oregano, basil, cumin, mustard, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne, if using. Mix together until combined. Shape mixture into 2-3 inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and browned.
3. Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating the olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes, stirring, one minute, or until fragrant but without browning the garlic. Add tomato sauce to the pan, followed by sugar and salt. Turn heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until the meatballs are finished baking.
4. When the meatballs are done, add them to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs to coat.
For the Buns:
5. Turn the oven up to broil. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, olive oil, and butter. Brush the garlic butter mixture onto the insides of the buns and broil until toasted and browned. Remove from oven.
6. Place 2 or 3 meatballs onto each toasted bun. Spoon some additional sauce over top of the meatballs. Top with shredded mozzarella and return the sandwiches to the broiler for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve promptly.
