SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE MEATLOAF

Category: Meatloaf

1 pound extra-lean ground round beef
8 oz ground turkey breast
3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup reduced-sodium tomato sauce
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp sugar

Preheat the oven to 350.

In a large bowl, combine the beef, turkey, salsa, bread crumbs, onions, corn, egg, garlic, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and salt. Mix well. Form into a loaf. Place in a loaf pan.

In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, ketchup, and sugar. Spread over the top of the meat loaf. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat loaf reads 160 degrees. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes, or until the top browns slightly. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
