Taco Turkey Meat Loaf for a Saturday Night Crowd


Since it is still cold here and spring has not shown up yet, I am making my Taco Turkey Meat Loaf for dinner on Saturday. I like meat loaf but really wanted a way to spice it up a bit and this is what I came up with. It makes 2 large loaves. If you like, you can cut the recipe in half, but even better, make both, and freeze one after baking for a weeknight easy meal.

Taco Turkey Meat Loaf

Each loaf serves 6-8
Prep: 10 min. Cook: 60 min.
Ingredients:
1 envelope taco seasoning
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
2 eggs beaten
1 onion grated with juice
2 cloves garlic grated
1/4 cup Romano cheese
1/4 cup tomato salsa
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
1 cup cooked brown rice
3 lbs. ground turkey
topping:
1 cup tomato salsa
1/2 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
1/4 cup Romano cheese
Directions:

Mix together eggs, taco seasoning, black pepper, onion, garlic, tomato salsa, brown rice, bread crumbs and cheeses. Add turkey and mix until thoroughly combined. Grease sheet pan with 2 tsp olive oil. Form two loaves of meat mixture on pan. Top each loaf with the tomato salsa and cheeses. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
