Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, chipotle peppers (chopped finely), adobo sauce, minced garlic, diced onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined but not overmixed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Spread half of the prepared glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve slices of Chipotle Turkey Meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
