Cheese Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
Description
This recipe combines lean ground turkey with earthy cremini mushrooms and minced shallot sautéed until soft, plus Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and spices. The mixture is formed into a flattened rectangle on parchment paper, sprinkled with cheddar cheese and chopped spinach, then rolled jelly roll-style and baked until cooked through.
Baking the loaf seam-side down helps maintain shape and keeps the cheese and spinach sealed inside. After baking, a ketchup glaze is brushed over the meatloaf and it is baked further to add flavor and moisture. Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing allows juices to redistribute, ensuring moist slices.
The dish offers a lighter alternative to traditional beef meatloaf while still providing a rich, cheesy filling and savory mushroom undertones. It can be served sliced as a main dish with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Ingredients
- olive oil spray form
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 shallot minced, large
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 pounds ground turkey 93% lean
- 1- 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2/3 cup cremini mushrooms chopped, fresh
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 egg large
- 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon marjoram dried
- 1 cup cheddar cheese 4 ounces, reduced fat, shredded
- 1 oz spinach fresh baby, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spray a small nonstick skillet with cooking olive oil spray over medium heat and saute shallot until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat.
- Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl combine ground turkey, mushrooms, shallot, breadcrumbs, ketchup, egg, salt and marjoram. Mix with your hands until well blended. Place on a 12- x 16-inch piece of parchment paper and pat firmly into a 10- x 12-inch rectangle.
- Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over ground turkey followed by the spinach. Roll up jelly roll-style, starting from the short end, by lifting wax paper and removing the paper as you roll. Seal ends well. Place seam-side down in prepared baking dish.
- Bake 45 minutes. Remove from oven, brush the sauce over roll, and return to oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until no pink remains. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes. Slice into 16 slices and serve.
