Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a blender combine egg, carrot, onion, bbq sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and pepper. Blend until the carrot & onion are finely chopped and the mixture is fairly smooth (a few chunks are ok).
- In a large bowl, combine blended mixture, beef, turkey and bread crumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
- Spray a foil-lined pan very well with non-stick spray. Place the meat on the pan and form into a loaf shape about 4" wide x 3" high. Cover with foil to create a seal.
- Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil, spread topping over meatloaf, and bake an additional 15-30 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 160°F. (The temperature will rise to 165°F while resting)
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overmix or the meat can become tough.
- Additional veggies can be added to the blended mixture as long as the meat holds together.
- We prefer to form a loaf on a pan instead of using a "loaf pan". This allows juices to move away from the meat and the outside can crisp. A loaf pan can cause a soggy meatloaf.
- Ensure the meatloaf is removed from the oven at 160°F. It will reach 165°F as it rests.
