How to cook deliciously - Turkey Meatloaf

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Set a rack in the middle of the oven.

2. Stage

Make the breadcrumbs: Tear the bread into 2-inch pieces. Pulse in the food processor to make coarse breadcrumbs. (Or tear into small crumbs with your fingers.)

3. Stage

Make the meatloaf mixture: In a large bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, zucchini, carrot, onion (if using), parsley, lemon zest and juice, mustard, and 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce. Mix until fully blended. Add the ground turkey. Mix well, using your hands. Try not to overwork the meat.

4. Stage

Shape and glaze the meatloaf: Form the meatloaf mixture into a rough football shape and transfer to the baking dish. Pat smooth. (Alternatively, transfer to a loaf pan to bake.) In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and remaining 2 tablespoons chili sauce. With a spoon or brush, spread the chili sauce evenly on top.

5. Stage

Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour: The loaf should register 165°F in the middle with an instant-read thermometer when done; continue baking if needed. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days and can be eaten cold or gently reheated.
