Ingredients for Turkey Chipotle Meatloaf:
1 – 1/4 lb. lean ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup diced jalapeno
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
2 teaspoons less-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Ingredients for Chipotle Glaze:
3/4 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
1/4 cup chilies in adobo sauce (pureed)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon less-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

NOTES: Serves 6-8. Makes about 1 cup glaze. Consider doubling the glaze if extra is desired for serving. This spicy meatloaf is about “two alarm” heat. To soften the blow, reduce chilies in adobo to 1 TBSP and consider omitting the diced jalapeno. Use caution when pureeing adobo chilies as they can irritate eyes. This meatloaf also makes great sandwiches when paired with Man Slaw (recipe follows). For added instruction and entertainment, watch the MANLOAF! How to Make Turkey Chipotle Meatloaf video.

1) In a saucepan, over medium heat combine diced tomatoes, pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.

Make the Turkey Chipotle Meatloaf:

4) Line a loaf pan with foil so that the bottom and all the way up the long sides are covered, forming “flaps.”
6) Add meat mixture to prepared loaf pan and gently pat to form of pan.
7) Spoon glaze on top.
8) Bake in the preheated oven (350 degrees F) for about an hour, until it’s golden brown and bubbling, and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
