Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces smoked cheddar, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 250°F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the smoked cheddar cubes, distributing them through the mixture without overworking it. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the BBQ sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place the meatloaf in the smoker and cook until the center reaches 150°F, about 1½ to 2 hours depending on the loaf’s shape and the smoker. Brush the top and sides with about half of the glaze.
  • Continue smoking until the center reaches 165°F, brushing on the remaining glaze during the final 10 minutes. Check the temperature in the center without touching a pocket of cheddar.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with any glaze left on the baking sheet.

merknader

Keep the loaf on the baking sheet while smoking so it is easier to handle and the melted cheddar stays contained. For clean slices, let it rest fully and use a sharp knife. Leftover slices reheat well covered in a low oven with a spoonful of extra BBQ sauce.
