Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground turkey
- 2 cups Stuffing mix (unprepared)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, stuffing mix, chicken broth, eggs, sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure an even shape.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with optional cranberry sauce on the side for a festive touch, or enjoy with your preferred sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.
