This is a turkey meatloaf recipe that isn’t trying to be gluten-free—it just happens to be. That’s because in place of the more traditional bread crumbs,
Ingredients
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
4 ounces ground turkey (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, stir together the cream and oats and set aside.
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Reduce heat to low and add the ketchup, cumin, celery seed, and oat-cream mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in the smallest container you’ve got (I use a ramekin), stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
Once the onion mixture has cooled a bit, add the ground turkey to the bowl and stir gently with your fingers until well combined. Form meat mixture into a loaf with your hands and transfer to a greased foil or parchment-lined quarter sheet pan. Smear top with glaze mixture and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the loaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Let the meatloaf sit a couple minutes out of the oven before plating and serving with mashed potatoes, green beans, and/or a side salad.
