Ok can I just be honest and say that 90% of the time I hear the word ‘meatloaf’ I immediately think of the scene from A Christmas Story where Randy refuses to eat his meatloaf and mashed potatoes and by the end of the scene he’s eating off his plate like a pig.  Ok sorry for that visual but I do. But really, that meatloaf looked boring. Meatloaf doesn’t have to be boring.  As old and as traditional as this recipe may be its various possibilities are endless. Knowing that you can’t ever go wrong by adding sriracha to anything I may or may not have stumbled upon this recipe after a few whiskey’s.  Good thing I wrote it down afterwards because its one of our favorites!

1 lb ground turkey

2 cloves garlic, chopped

Fresh parsley (eyeball it)

1/2 onion, grated

3 pieces day old white bread, crumbled

Milk

Salt and pepper

1 egg

Worcestershire sauce

Honey

Ketchup

Sriracha

1 carrot, minced

1. Crumble up day old bread into small pieces in a small bowl.  Cover with a small amount of milk, just barely enough to cover the bread.  Set aside and meanwhile the bread will be soaking up the milk.
2. Mix together turkey, grated onion, egg, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, carrot, 2 dashes of worcestershire, 2 squirts of honey, bread and milk mixture.  Go ahead and add 1-2 T of sriracha depending on how spicy you like your food.
3.  Once well incorporated (don’t over mix) place into a bread pan or mold into a meatloaf shape onto a roasting pan.
4.  Mix 1/3 cup of ketchup with 1/3 cup or sriracha in a separate bowl and spread over the top of your meatloaf.
5. Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes.  Amazing!
