How to Make Beef Turkey And Andouille Meat Loaf

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and 1/2 tsp salt.
Cook, covered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in optional bell peppers and minced garlic; cook for 2 minutes more.
Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl.
Add ground beef, ground turkey, andouille sausage, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl.
Gently mix with your hands until all ingredients are well combined. Do not overmix.
On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape the meat mixture into a loaf approximately 10x4x4 inches.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the mustard glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
After 30 minutes of baking, brush the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 155°F (68°C).
Let the meatloaf rest, loosely tented with foil, for 10-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
