A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, featuring a savory BBQ glaze and a tender texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, turkey sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, and half of the BBQ sauce.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make it tough.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish.
Use damp hands to prevent sticking while shaping the loaf.
Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the loaf.
For extra flavor, mix a little honey into the BBQ sauce before spreading.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the loaf is cooked through.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf more tender.
