Equipment

  • chopping board
  • Chef knife
  • 9" x 13" baking pan

Ingredients  

  • 3 lb Shady Brook Farms 93% lean ground turkey
  • ¾ c homemade bread crumbs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 large celery stalks
  • ½ medium bell pepper, yellow
  • 1 can Campbell's Healthy Request cream of tomato soup
  • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce, Heinz
  • 3 tsp McCormick Grill Mates steak seasoning
  • ¾ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Place the ground turkey and breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl.
  • Chop the onion, bell pepper and celery. Add to the bowl with the ground turkey.
  • Add ¼ c of the cream of tomato soup, worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning and salt to the meat mixture.
  • Use your hands and mix the ground turkey and all the added ingredients together until they are well incorporated. If the mixture seems on the dry side, add a couple more tbsp of the cream tomato soup.
  • Pinch off a quarter size piece of meat mixture and flatten it. Place it on a napkin and microwave on high for 25 sec. Let it cool briefly and then taste it. Add more salt if you think it needs it.
  • Shape the ground turkey mixture into a loaf and place it in the baking pan.
  • Add about ½ - ¾ c of water to the bottom of the pan. You want about ½" of water on the bottom of the pan.
  • Frost the top of the meatloaf with the remaining cream of tomato soup. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. Crimp it around the edges of the pan making a seal.
  • Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake. I normally check the meatloaf at the 1 hr mark with a digital thermometer. When it registers 170℉ it is done. If the meatloaf is not done, put the foil back on as best as you can and return to the oven for 15 min. I find a 3 lb meatloaf usually takes 1hr 15 min to cook in my oven.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven when it is done. Let it rest for 10 min and then transfer it to a platter.
  • Slice it up and serve. Leftover slices can be individually wrapped in plastic wrap, placed into a freezer bag and frozen for later use.

Notes

If you do not want to mix the meatloaf with your hands, you can use the paddle on a kitchen aid or dough hooks on a handmixer.
