Sriracha Turkey Meatloaf

For all of my Sriracha and spice lovers, you’re gonna love this recipe…

I’ve been making my version of this meatloaf recipe for a couple of months. Sorry I’ve been greedy and not sharing it with you. This isn’t your everyday meatloaf recipe but trust me, it’s really good!! It’s a bit healthier — I used ground turkey instead of beef & pork. I know ground turkey can get dry pretty easily but I’ve added sauteed onions and mushrooms to the meatloaf mixture to keep it juicy. By adding soy sauce and sriracha to the mixture and the glaze on top, it gives this meatloaf a great Asian flare.

If you don’t like spicy foods or can’t find sriracha, you can leave it out. I think the recipe will still provide a lot of flavor and you won’t have many leftovers.

If you do have leftovers, it warms up great! I can only imagine what a wonderful spicy turkey meatloaf sandwich this would make. I would’ve tried that for lunch today but we’re all out of bread in our house. DOH!

Tomorrow’s blog post will be back to my usual Friday thing — #followfriday. I can’t wait to share with you one of my favorite blogging buddies recipes AND crafts. (Yes, crafts!!)
