You can make this with lean ground beef or turkey. I normally would prefer the beef version but in this case both Mike and I prefer the turkey version. It is very very good, isn't as greasy and makes awesome sandwiches. This is what we had for dinner last night with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It's nothing fancy - just good comfort food. Enjoy!
2 lbs ground turkey breast (or the leanest ground beef you can find)
1 envelope liptons onion soup mix
1/2 diced onion
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup crushed saltine crackers or 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
3/4 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
Mix all ingredients above with heavy duty spoon or your hands. Form into a loaf in a 9x13 pan. Should reach end to end. I try to make it about the size of a piece of bread so we have the right size of meat for sandwiches in the next few days.
Mix 1/2 cup ketchup with 3/4 cup brown sugar in a cup. After you form the loaf in the pan, pour this over the top and spread it around the sides and ends. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes (or until juices run clear) and let sit up for about 10 minutes. You can make a great pan gravy with butter, flour pan bits and either chicken broth or beef broth depending on what kind of meat you use.
Leftover meatloaf sandwiches - wheat bread, mayo, a little ketchup, slice of meatloaf and thin slices of dill pickle. That's it. I like these better than the hot meatloaf!
