Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf

 

 

 

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
•  
• 7 slices turkey bacon, or more to taste
•  
• 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
•  
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•  
• 1 egg
•  
• 1/2 small onion, diced
•  
• 1 slice French bread, crumbled

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
•  
•  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•  
• 1/4 cup ketchup
•  
• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
•  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar  

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook turkey bacon until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble when cool.
• Mix cooked bacon with ground turkey, Cheddar cheese, egg, onion, crumbled French bread, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper; turn the turkey meatloaf mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and form into a loaf shape in the middle of the dish.
• Mix ketchup, yellow mustard, and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar. Spread the mixture over the turkey loaf.
• Bake the turkey loaf in the preheated oven until the juices run clear, loaf is no longer pink in the middle, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees F), 45 minutes to 1 hour.
