INGREDIENTS

For the meatloaf:

• Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup diced yellow or sweet onion
• 1/2 cup grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup peeled and grated carrot
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey, mix of white and dark meat
• 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
• 1/2 cup grated sweet apple
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

For the apple-balsamic glaze:

• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons apple butter
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Melt the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, zucchini, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer to drain off the excess liquid and let cool for 5 minutes.

Place the ground turkey, sweet potato, egg, vegetable mixture, grated apple, mustard, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined, but do not overmix or the meatloaf will be tough. Transfer to the loaf pan and pat into an even layer.

Place all the ingredients for balsamic apple glaze in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer half to a serving bowl and set aside. Brush the top of the meatloaf with the remaining glaze.

Bake until cooked through and the internal temperature of the meatloaf is 165°F, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving so that the juices reabsorb into the meatloaf. Slice, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with the reserved glaze. Cool.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine meat, eggs and barbecue sauce to your liking. Mix well. It's easiest to do with your very own hands! Add other ingredients, some like less some may like more!
