Enchilada Turkey Meatloaf
Description
The Enchilada Turkey Meatloaf incorporates lean ground turkey mixed with mild enchilada sauce and oats that act as a binder. Additional ingredients like chopped scallions, corn kernels, black beans, and mild green chilis contribute texture and bursts of flavor reminiscent of traditional enchiladas. The spices cumin and onion powder give a warm, earthy background note balanced by the salt.
After mixing and shaping, the meatloaf is baked until cooked through, then topped with extra enchilada sauce, cheese blend, and optional jalapeños before a brief final bake to melt the cheese and heat the topping. The result is a seasoned, tender meatloaf with a flavorful, slightly saucy crust.
Serving this meatloaf sliced makes for an easy portioned meal. It pairs well with simple sides like rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
