Healthy Mexican Meatloaf
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chiles
  • 1 cup mild chunky salsa
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
  • 3/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 (28 ounce) can enchilada sauce, divided
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing container, combine the ground turkey, ground chicken, black beans, corn, green chiles, salsa, taco seasoning, bread crumbs, and egg whites in a single bowl.
4
Mix the ingredients together until they are perfectly blended and combined.
5
Use your hands to shape the mixture into a loaf shape, then place it into the prepared baking dish.
6
Pour half of the enchilada sauce over the top of the meatloaf, covering it evenly.
7
Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
8
Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the meatloaf, making sure it's evenly coated.
9
Return the baking dish to the oven and continue cooking until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, a process that should take an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
10
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf, aiming for at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius).
11
Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and slice it into individual portions.
12
Serve the meatloaf hot with a spoonful of pan sauce on top, providing a rich and savory accompaniment to the dish.
