Cheese-Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheese-Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a loaf pan and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your meatloaf comes out easily.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, a beaten egg, freshly chopped parsley, dry bread crumbs, adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper.

4. Step 4

   Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until it’s well blended and full of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, take half of this turkey mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared loaf pan, creating a nice, even layer.

6. Step 6

   Next, let’s add a delicious surprise! Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese right down the center of the turkey layer, making it a cheesy delight.

7. Step 7

   Gently top this with the remaining turkey mixture, pressing it down lightly to form a lovely loaf shape.

8. Step 8

   Place your loaf pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until the meatloaf is beautifully browned and cooked through.

9. Step 9

   As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know it’s almost time! In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese on top for that perfect melty finish.

10. Step 10

    Once it’s done, resist the urge to dive right in—let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes.

11. Step 11

    This little pause allows the juices to settle, making each slice even more delicious.

12. Step 12

    Now, slice it up and serve, enjoying the cheesy goodness and the smiles it brings to your table!.
