While I was up north to take the bar/get ready to move up there for real, I had some friends over. It was the first time I’d seen most of them in a while (except Hillary, who I’d seen the week before in DC to do some cookie science I still need to post…), and it was a good time, with some tasty foods! This meatloaf, which we ate that night, may not be the single most attractive food product ever, but it sure tastes good.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce, divided
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, divided
• 2 tablespoons honey, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lb ground turkey

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Stir together the panko, 2 tablespoons of worcestershire, the mustard, 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon of the honey, and the salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Add the ground turkey and gently combine with your hands.

Shape into a loaf on the foil-lined sheet.

Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, tablespoon of honey, and 2 teaspoons of wocestershire sauce together in a small bowl.

Pour or brush half of this mixture over the top of the meatloaf and set the rest aside. Bake the loaf for 45 minutes to an hour, or until 170 degrees in the middle. Brush with remaining sauce and let rest 5-10 minutes.

Transfer to a nicer dish because you’re totally grownups, slice, and serve.

Super tasty, and pretty minimal effort. Went well with the crispy potato bake and some vegetables.
