Equipment

  • Oven Preheat to 375°F (190°C)
  • Medium sauté pan For cooking vegetables
  • Food processor For processing stuffing mix
  • Sheet Tray For baking meatloaf

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cup dry stuffing mix
  • 1 quart turkey stock divided
  • 6 tablespoon butter
  • 1.5 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Bell’s Seasoning
  • 4 whole eggs beaten
  • 2 pound ground turkey
  • 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt adjust based on stock saltiness
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the stuffing mix with 2 cups of the turkey stock. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the liquid.
  • In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, celery, garlic, and Bell’s Seasoning. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a food processor, pulse the remaining 1 cup of stuffing mix into crumbs and set aside.
  • To the bowl with the soaked stuffing mix, add the beaten eggs, ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Gently combine until mixed.
  • Stir in the cooled vegetable mixture and the processed stuffing crumbs until everything is well combined.
  • To check the seasoning, fry a small piece of the meatloaf mixture in a bit of melted butter until cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Line a medium sheet tray with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the center of the prepared sheet tray. Wet your hands with water and shape the mixture into a log, smoothing the top and sides as you go. Keep your hands wet to prevent sticking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C). For best results, use a probe thermometer. If using an instant-read thermometer, plug the hole with a toothpick immediately after checking to keep the juices in. Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve with cranberry sauce on the side for a delightful contrast. Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to customize the flavor!
