Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced
  • 1 large egg, for the cornbread crust
  • 1/3 cup milk, for the cornbread crust
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil, for greasing the pan

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 275°F. Lightly grease a small loaf pan with the neutral oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix gently just until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and brown sugar. Stir in the shredded cheddar and diced jalapeño. In another bowl, whisk the second egg with the 1/3 cup milk and melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the turkey mixture, reaching the edges of the pan to form a crust.
  • Place the pan in the smoker and cook until the center of the meatloaf reaches 165°F, checking with an instant-read thermometer. The cornbread crust should be set and lightly golden.
  • Remove the pan from the smoker and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes. Slice carefully so each piece keeps its layer of jalapeño-cheddar cornbread crust.

For a milder crust, remove the jalapeño seeds before dicing. Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps the turkey layer hold together, and an instant-read thermometer makes it easy to check doneness without overcooking the lean meat.
