Spicy Turkey Meatloaf (Erin McDowell; Food52)

Meatloaf Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup (or more) breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoonsoy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon course Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Spicy Sriracha Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Make the meatloaf: In a large bowl, mix the turkey, onion, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, rice vinegar, Worcestershire, coriander, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper just to combine. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs. Form the mixture into a loaf on a Silpat sheet.

Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha, and cumin until well combined.

Brush the glaze all over the loaf (this is why I don't use a loaf pan, so that you can get maximum glaze action).

Bake, basting the loaf occasionally, for 35 to 45 minutes, until cooked through. If you like, you can run the finished loaf under the broiler and the glaze will form a bit of a crust.
