I took the recipe off the Internet. I tried it last week and it turned out really good. EXCEPT...The only problem is I brined my turkey too long and it tasted like a Salt Lick. So this Time I soaked my turkey burger in water for almost 24 hours to soak the salt brine out of it. The only reason I brined it to begin with is because the meat used to make burger was so bloodshot. I wasn’t planning on using it but after I soaked all the blood out the meat looked great. Next time I’ll use a lot less salt when I’m brining the blood out . Only one of the 3 pounds of wild turkey that I used today was brined salty. I tried this with some my other turkey meat that I used for nuggets that I also over brined. I soaked it in fresh water in my fridge for a day and all the salt comes back out.
So into the meatloaf. I substituted since I didn’t have all the Same ingredients as last time. Are used 3 pounds of ground turkey. One pound breast and 2 pounds legs, four eggs, 2 TB of Worcestershire sauce, a can of mushrooms and an onion that I diced up and caramelized before adding, 2 TBS of oil, 1tsp of salt and pepper, 2 sleeves of ritz crackers and 2/3 cup of chicken broth to soften (I was out of milk...and allergic to it anyways).
Directions say to the bake at 400° for 50 minutes or until 170 degrees internal temp. Hopefully soaking in water for 24 hours in mixing 2 pounds of non-brined turkey meat with 1 pound of the original salty brine killed the salt lick taste.
I made the glaze out of a cup of catsup, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, some famous Dave’s sweet and zesty BBQ sauce, and I put in some molasses to boot.
Knock on wood it won’t taste like a salt lick again.
