#535: Bacon Wrapped Turkey Meatloaf


Here's a freezer meal that I made a few weeks before Matthew was born.  We finally took it out of the freezer and made it for dinner tonight.  We all enjoyed this, but Brian was not a fan of the bacon.  I however, loved it!  I'd definitely, definitely make this again for dinner (with the Bacon...Brian can just pull it off).  :)

1-1/4 lbs ground turkey
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 tsp rosemary
3/4 cup unflavored bread crumbs
1 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
8 slices bacon, cut in half


In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, garlic, rosemary, Worcestershire, bread crumbs and egg. Use your hands to mix together lightly until well combined. Add in the green pepper and onion and combine.

Divide mixture into four servings. Shape each into a mini-loaf shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and/or tin foil. Freeze for up to one month.

Last Minute Preparation:  Allow meatloaves to defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using four of the bacon pieces for each meatloaf, wrap the bacon tightly around the top of each loaf. Place loaves on lightly oiled baking sheet and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
