How to Make 1 Turkey Meatloaf With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Feta

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven rack in the center.
  2. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  3. Place a slice of bread (about 1 ounce) uncovered on a plate and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to dry out.
  4. In a large bowl, combine dried breadcrumbs (from 1 slice of bread), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained), 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add 1.5 pounds ground turkey to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Carefully transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape into a loaf.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  9. Broil for 3-5 minutes to brown the top.
  10. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with a fresh salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
