Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 lb ground turkey (not white meat)
  • 1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage (removed from the casings)
  • 1 cup soft breadcrumbs
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic (very finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup chiffonade of fresh basil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup tomato purée
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the ground turkey, turkey sausage, breadcrumbs, garlic, and basil in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add to the meat mixture and combine thoroughly.
  • Turn the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press gently to firm and distribute evenly. Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl, remove the meatloaf from the oven, and spread evenly over the top.
  • Continue baking the meatloaf for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F.
  • Set aside to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
