There's no more boring meatloaf when you make this spicy, delicious turkey meatloaf stuffed with cheese and jalapeño.
Enchilada Sauce:
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 T. chili powder
1/2 t. cumin
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. apple cider vinegar
Turkey Meatloaf:
1 lb. 94% lean ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 white onion, very finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs
1/2 t. cumin
1/2 t. chili powder
3/4 t. salt
2 oz. sliced or 1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 jalapeño, sliced
cilantro, for serving
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Enchilada Sauce: combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, 2 T. enchilada sauce, cumin, chili powder and salt.
Mix until well combined.
Place half of the meat mixture on the prepared pan; shape into a 10x4 inch rectangle. Top evenly with cheddar cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch of room on the sides.
Add jalapeno slices on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining meat mixture, enclosing the cheese completely and sealing the edges together.
Spread half of the enchilada sauce on top of the meat loaf, reserving the remaining half for brushing on when meatloaf is finished baking.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
Top with remaining sauce; allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices.
Serve, topped with cilantro.
