Turkey Meatloaf Wellington Ingredients

• Salt and fresh ground black pepper
• Fresh thyme leaves for a subtle herby flavor.
• Dried parsley
• Panko crumbs help to bind the meatloaf together.
• Eggs also act as a binding agent for the meatloaf mixture.
• Skim milk to keep the meatloaf moist and tender.
• Phyllo sheets provide a crispy, flaky exterior.
• Melted butter will be used to brush between the phyllo layers.

How To Make Turkey Meatloaf Wellington

1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Line a pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
2. Mix together the turkey, onion, seasonings, herbs, panko crumbs, eggs, and milk. Set aside.
3. Layer half the phyllo sheets on the pan, brushing each sheet with butter before adding the next.
4. Add half of the meatloaf mixture over the phyllo, leaving space at the ends. Fold and roll the phyllo to wrap up the meat mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second meatloaf.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and flaky.
6. Remove from the oven and let it rest before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

• Always keep unused phyllo sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
• Don’t skimp on the butter when brushing the phyllo sheets. The butter helps achieve a crispy texture.
• The turkey mixture should be moist but not wet. If it releases too much liquid during baking, it could make the phyllo dough soggy.
• Make sure to seal the edges of the phyllo dough properly to prevent the filling from oozing out.
• If you want to check if the meatloaf is fully cooked, insert a meat thermometer into it and pull it out when the internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
• Let the Wellington rest after baking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

ENJOY!
