Using turkey instead of beef cuts down on fat while still providing plenty of filling protein. Rather than bake the mixture in a loaf pan, this is a sheet pan meatloaf; it's formed into an oval and cooked on a baking sheet, which allows for better browning along the sides. Skip the mashed potatoes and serve it sliced with lettuce leaves and shredded carrots to make lettuce wraps or with rice and steamed and roasted broccoli. 93 Quick and Easy Dinner Recipes to Make Any Night of the Week Lennart Weibull What Is Hoisin Sauce? Sticky, dark-brown hoisin sauce is a popular ingredient in Chinese cooking. It's made with sugar, soybeans, garlic, salt, and spices and has a delicious sweet-savory flavor. It's a key ingredient in Peking duck and char siu (Cantonese barbecued pork) but can also be used as a dipping sauce, glaze, or as an ingredient in stir-fries. Making your own breadcrumbs from fresh bread will lend the best texture to this sheet-pan meatloaf, but you can certainly use plain, dry breadcrumbs from the store instead. Just be sure to thoroughly blend them into the meatloaf mixture so they're able to hydrate as the loaf bakes. Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 2 slices day-old white bread or plain breadcrumbs (preferably homemade) 1 yellow onion, finely chopped (¾ cup) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce Extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth ½ cup ketchup ¼ cup hoisin sauce 2 pounds coarsely ground turkey, 85 percent lean 1 large egg, lightly beaten ½ cup finely chopped cilantro Sesame seeds Directions Heat oven; make breadcrumbs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Tear bread into pieces; pulse in a food processor to make fine crumbs (or use plain breadcrumbs) set aside. Pulse onion; cook with garlic, ginger, and salt: Pulse onion in food processor until finely chopped (or do by hand). Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add onion, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, broth, and ketchup: Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, broth, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Make glaze; combine remaining meatloaf ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and hoisin for glaze; set aside. In a large bowl, combine vegetable mixture with ground turkey, egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, cilantro, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into a loaf; top with glaze and seeds: On a rimmed baking sheet, form meat mixture into a loaf that's 10 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches high, packing firmly to prevent cracking. Coat top and sides with glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake; let cool slightly before serving: Bake until top is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165 degrees, 55 to 65 minutes. (If top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool at least 25 minutes. What to Serve With Hoisin-Glazed Meatloaf For a fun presentation, serve slices of meatloaf with Bibb lettuce, carrot ribbons, and cilantro and allow diners to make their own lettuce wraps; some extra hoisin and a bottle of sriracha sauce would make an excellent accompaniment as well. You can also serve it alongside white or brown rice and sautéed broccolini or a crunchy cabbage slaw.
