Now, by NO MEANS do you have to make this heart shaped but whatever, its tradition. Every valentine’s day growing up, my mom made her famous meatloaf but in the shape of a heart. So now that I am all grown up, I do it too! Who wants to go out for V Day (been there done that) when you can sit at home with some of the best comfort food out there.
If you have read my blog in the past, I have totally given up on making mashed potatoes from scratch. There are just too many freaking BETTER things out there already made and you know that if I have a choice between doing things the hard way or the easy way, I chose the easy way. So Bob Evans refrigerated mashed potatoes OR Trader Joe’s Frozen Mashed Potatoes it is.
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey (you can certainly use ground beef if you want! or any non meat substitution)
1 c seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 c diced yellow onion
1/2 c whole milk
1 large egg beaten
2 T ketchup
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried parsley
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp.ground black pepper
For the Topping:
1/4 cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons ketchup, worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Use your hands to mix these together until well combined.
- Prepare a baking sheet with foil and olive oil spray or a loaf pan with olive oil spray. Plop the mixture on the baking sheet and shape it to your hearts content (mine is always heart shaped!)
- Pour ketchup on top of the turkey meatloaf and spread it into an even layer.
- Bake uncovered for 55 minutes.
- Let it rest for 8-10 minutes before serving
P.S. I added some stuff to the sauce on top to make this LIGHTS OUT!! Check it out here.
