Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed if frozen
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise, divided
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
  • 3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the smoker to 275°F. Set it up for indirect cooking.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, corn, jalapeño, panko, egg, red onion, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined so the meatloaf stays tender.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on a small piece of parchment or a smoker-safe tray. Place it in the smoker and cook until the center reaches 165°F, checking with an instant-read thermometer.
  • While the meatloaf smokes, stir together the sour cream, 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, chili powder, and half of the cotija. Spread this mixture over the meatloaf during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Make the slaw by tossing the cabbage with the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Let it sit for a few minutes, then taste and adjust the seasoning with a little of the measured salt if needed.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle the remaining cotija over the top and serve with the cilantro-lime slaw.

For a milder loaf, remove the jalapeño seeds before dicing. Keep the slaw separate until serving so it stays crisp, and use a thermometer to avoid drying out the lean turkey.
