Turkey Meatloaf with Roasted Bell Peppers is an easy, healthy weeknight dinner that can be made in advance. Moist and delicious, you’ll love this recipe and the secret flavor punch of using roasted bell peppers.

Turkey Meatloaf with Roasted Bell Peppers

Turkey Meatloaf is a staple recipe that is quick and easy to put together… and it’s much healthier than it’s beef counterpart. This version uses jarred roasted bell peppers to add flavor to the meat while helping to keep it moist. Cut the bell pepper into strips to make a pretty design on top and add tons of flavor as the bell pepper melds into the delicious sauce.

I love adding the bell peppers this way because it helps to keep the meatloaf moist. Plus you can’t beat the gorgeous look of it when it cooks. This meatloaf is easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner, but perfect for entertaining as well. Use whatever color jarred peppers you have on hand. Yellow and orange would look gorgeous too! Or you can even roast your own bell peppers.

How to Make Turkey Meatloaf with Roasted Bell Peppers

This is a quick and easy recipe to put together. All you need is one large bowl for the turkey meatloaf ingredients. Combine and put in either a loaf pan or you can free form it on a foil lined baking sheet. Whip up the quick glaze topping, add the bell pepper strips, and you are ready to bake for about an hour, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

You can put together the turkey meatloaf ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Or, it makes great leftovers and even better sandwiches, so feel free to bake the entire turkey meatloaf and reheat before serving.

    I just made this recipe. It was easy. The problem that I had was when I took the ground turkey out of the refrigerator after it un-froze, I noticed it was turkey fillets. So I sliced it up in little tiny pieces like it was a ground and still made the mill
