Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 7 slices turkey bacon , or more to taste
• 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• 0.5 small onion , diced
• 1 slice French bread , crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce , or more to taste
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey bacon and cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

3. 3

   Mix ground turkey, Cheddar, egg, onion, crumbled French bread, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, pepper, and bacon together until well combined. Shape into a loaf in the middle of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. 4

   Stir ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar together in a bowl until brown sugar is dissolved; spread over turkey loaf.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
