Cooking Instructions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Japanese-Style Turkey and Pork Meatloaf.

Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
In a large skillet, pour in a splash of corn oil and a drizzle of sesame oil, heating them over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oils are warm, toss in finely chopped carrots, green bell pepper, and onion.
Step 4
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about five minutes, or until they soften and fill your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 5
Next, stir in soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and fish soup stock, letting the flavors mingle.
Step 6
Sprinkle in garlic powder and ground ginger, mixing everything together beautifully.
Step 7
Once combined, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about five to ten minutes—this will help it blend perfectly with the meat later on.
Step 8
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, ground pork, and beaten eggs.
Step 9
Mix them together until they’re well blended, creating a hearty base for your meatloaf.
Step 10
Now, add the cooled vegetable mixture along with panko bread crumbs to the meat mixture.
Step 11
Stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring every ingredient is evenly distributed for maximum flavor in every bite.
Step 12
Transfer this delicious mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to create a lovely shape.
Step 13
Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
Step 14
After that, crank up the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking.
Step 15
Keep an eye on it, and when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160°F (70°C), you’ll know it’s perfectly cooked—this should take about another 30 minutes.
Step 16
Once your meatloaf is done, resist the urge to dive in right away! Let it stand for about five minutes to allow the juices to settle.
Step 17
Then, slice it up and serve, enjoying the fruits of your labor and the smiles it brings to the table.
Step 18
This comforting dish is sure to become a favorite in your home!.
