Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan or a baking sheet with foil and spray with a non-stick cooking spray.
Glaze:
Place all glaze ingredients in a saucepan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil; lower the heat; simmer gently, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, until thickened. If a chunky jam was used, you may want to use an immersion blender to puree the glaze.
Put both meats in a large mixing bowl, breaking into small pieces while adding.
Add beaten egg, breadcrumbs, onion, salt and pepper to the bowl; mix everything well with your hands, without over mixing it. Form the mixture into a loaf, not too tall and not too wide, getting it even from end to end so it cooks evenly.
Place the loaf on the prepared loaf pan or baking sheet. Spread a layer of glaze all over the meatloaf. Bake about 60 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees, basting another layer of sauce on the meat halfway through the cooking, after about 30 minutes.
Remove the meat; allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Slather on a third coat of glaze that has been reheated on the stove just before serving.
Serve with extra sauce on the side.
