I am not a fan of meatloaf but I enjoy this one--especially the red pepper sauce. I promise you will love this sauce--maybe so much you'll never want to ketchup covered meatloaf again. Hmmmmm...wonder how this sauce would taste with fries?
Red Pepper Sauce:
3 ounces tomato paste (from reserved 1/2 can)
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 large red pepper, seeded, cored, and roughly chopped
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Meatloaf:
2 pounds ground turkey (1 lb. white; 1 lb. dark preferred--play with the combinations)
2 eggs
3 ounces tomato paste (1/2 of 1 small can, reserving rest for the sauce)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 clove garlic, peeled
1 large red pepper, seeded, cored, and roughly chopped
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
15 grinds black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and then add all other ingredients. Mix by hand (this is a fun kid task--just be sure to wash those hands before and after). Place mixture into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and shape into a loaf. Place in center of the pan, allowing room on sides for the sauce (in other words, don't press into the sides).
Now make the red pepper sauce. Add all ingredients, liquids first, in a blender and puree until smooth--about one minute. Pour all the sauce over the raw meatloaf; allow the sauce to pour over the sides. Cover pan with aluminum foil making sure the foil does not touch the sauce or meatloaf. Bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake 45 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes. Now slice and enjoy.
