Makes 8 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 12-ounce bottle dark or amber beer
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds 95%-lean ground chicken
1 1/4 pounds 93%-lean ground turkey
1 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 green onion, white threads cut and removed
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon organic cayenne pepper
liquid from pan
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in beer and increase heat to high. Bring to a vigorous boil; cook until the liquid is quite syrupy and the mixture reduces to about 3/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in thyme, mustard, salt and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add chicken, turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg and egg white to the onion mixture. With clean hands, mix thoroughly and transfer to the prepared pan.
- Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F when inserted into the center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes draining accumulated liquid from the pan and set aside for sauce.
- For the sauce, add all ingredients into a heavy bottom sauce pot. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to simmer and remove green onion. Then, pour with wide mouth spoon over the loaf and place back into a “high heat broiler” (top flame of oven) for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and slice.
Tips and Notes
The green onion is for flavor only before being removed. You can leave it in the sauce but it is recommended that you dice.
