Turkey Meatloaf with Sriracha Relish Sauce

Turkey Meatloaf with Sriracha Relish Sauce

Yield: 4-8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • MEATLOAF:
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk or almond milk
  • 2 pounds ground beef chuck, turkey or ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1 carrot, or sweet potato peeled and grated
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • SRIRACHA RELISH SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup Traina Foods Sriracha Sun Dried Tomato Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup organic sweet pickle relish (I like to use Cascadian Farms brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F with a rack in the middle position. In a large bowl, soak the bread crumbs in the milk for 5 minutes
  2. Make your Sriracha Relish Sauce. Mix together the Sriracha Sun-Dried Tomato Ketchup and sweet pickle relish in a small bowl. (Makes 3/4 cup) (Any unused portion can be refrigerated and used later.)
  3. Add the meat, onions, carrots or sweet potato, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bread crumb mixture. Mix gently.

  4. Gently, shape the meat mixture into a loaf and put it in an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Note: If using turkey, oil or spray pan) Make 3 thumb size holes, evenly spaced lengthwise, in the meat loaf and fill them to the top with the Sriracha relish sauce.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Pour any accumulated juices over the top of the meat loaf. Slice and serve with the remaining Sriracha relish sauce on the side.

Notes

I always grate the onions to avoid large chunks in the meat loaf which are unpleasant . Use a box grater and they'll melt into the meat mixture as it cooks.

The addition of grated carrots helps keep the loaf moist. Also, if you choose to use ground turkey, mix it together only enough to bind ingredients together. Otherwise, you break down the fats and may cause the meatloaf to be dry.
