Ingredienser
  

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small apple, peeled and grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a small baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease it with a little of the measured olive oil.
  • Put the sweet potato chunks in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until very tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well and mash until smooth. Measure out ½ cup for the meatloaf and let it cool until just warm.
  • While the sweet potato cooks, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until softened. Let it cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated apple, egg, ½ cup mashed sweet potato, cooked shallot, sage, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a fork just until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on the prepared baking sheet, or press it into the loaf pan. Bake until the center reaches 165°F, about 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the slices hold together and keeps the juices in the loaf.

Drain the sweet potato well before mashing so the mixture does not become too soft, and measure the ½ cup after mashing. If the grated apple releases a lot of juice, gently squeeze it before mixing it in. Leftover mashed sweet potato can be served alongside the meatloaf.
