Tex-Mex Tasty Turkey Meatloaf Recipe

  • 2 lbs. lean ground turkey
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp HP sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 small can (398 ml black beans, drained)
  • 1 small can (398 ml corn, drained)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. In a non-stick skillet, sauté onions until softened and slightly cooked, 2-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gently mix together until ingredients are combined. Do not over mix.
  4. Bake in a standard size loaf pan for 45 minutes or until an instant thermometer registers a temperature of 165 °F (74°C).
  5. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

TIP: Serve this meatloaf with a selection of healthy sides so your family can enjoy their favourites and create a well-rounded meal. Try salsa, avocado slices, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and guacamole or shredded cheese.

Below are some tips on how you can makeover everyday meals with Turkey.

  1. Plan ahead! When it comes to meal planning, a whole turkey delivers huge value as a ‘cook once, eat twice or more’ meal. You can buy a whole turkey to cook on the weekend and feed your family for several days during the week.  Freeze portions of leftovers to use as meal-starters for quick weekday dinners and lunches.
  2. Get back to basics! Enjoying more meals at home is one of the best things you can do for your family. Cooking meals from scratch let you control the ingredients and include more health-boosting whole foods such as turkey, veggies and whole grains.
  3. Make the switch! Turkey makes a fantastic everyday choice for all your protein needs.  Think about switching to turkey and turkey cuts for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.  Turkey is lean, nutrient-rich and packed with protein to give you long-lasting energy that powers you through your busy everyday schedules and activities.  
  4. Boost your nutrients! Swap in turkey to any of your favourite dishes for an instant nutritional boost.  Turkey is packed with nutrients like vitamin B12 (important in keeping your nervous system – the body’s electrical wiring – working well), selenium (an antioxidant mineral) and zinc (for a strong immune system).
  5. Bump up the protein! Eating 20 to 30 grams of quality protein with all of your meals, along with being active, can help build and maintain muscle.  Protein delivers hunger-curbing satisfaction to keep you energized for longer. Turkey is the power protein of choice – it’s an excellent source of high-quality protein with each 100-gram portion serving up about 30 grams of lean protein.

    I want to make the Lemony Herb Whole Roasted Turkey for Easter instead of another option like ham. So much better.
