Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/3 cup finely grated apple
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Use a mild wood such as applewood so the smoke complements the fruit-forward glaze.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently just until combined. Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it on a sheet of foil or a smoker-safe tray. Leave room around the loaf so smoke can circulate.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, grated apple, and apple cider vinegar. Spoon about half of the glaze over the meatloaf and reserve the rest.
  • Smoke the meatloaf until its center reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on its shape and the smoker. Brush the reserved glaze over the top during the final 15 minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Resting helps the slices hold together.

Grate the apple finely so it blends into the glaze, and keep the meatloaf loaf-shaped rather than too tall for more even cooking. If the cranberry sauce is especially tart, add a little more barbecue sauce to the glaze before brushing it on.
