This Turkey Taco Meatloaf is going to be a dinner time WIN! This meatloaf recipe is one of my favorites! Let’s be honest, no one wants a super dry, flavorless turkey meatloaf. Lean poultry like chicken and turkey tends to dry out when it cooks. That’s why a chicken thigh is more flavorful and juicy then say a chicken breast. But for this turkey meatloaf, we’re adding some ingredients like diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and eggs to keep this meatloaf juicy. And to make this meatloaf recipe a taco flavored meatloaf, we’re going to be adding in some taco seasoning too!

Ingredients

Crushed tortilla chips (optional)
1 cup Mild taco sauce, plus more for serving
2 Eggs, beaten
2 1/2 tbsp. Taco seasoning
1 tsp. Cumin
2 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Chopped onion
15 oz. Petite diced tomatoes
1/2 cup Bread crumbs
3 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
2 pounds Ground turkey, 93% lean

Method

01

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
02

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
03

Add the turkey, cheese, bread crumbs, tomatoes, onion, salt cumin, taco seasoning, and eggs to a large bowl and mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
04

Place the meatloaf onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a long, rectangular shape. You want it to be about 2″ high, by 9″ long and 5″ wide. Just approximately so the meatloaf cooks properly.
05

Brush with half of the taco sauce and bake for 45 minutes.
06

Remove the meatloaf from the oven, baste with the rest of the taco sauce and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
07

Garnish with crushed tortilla chips (optional). Slice and serve.
