Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Meatloaf Recipe with a Yummy Honey Mustard Topping

We never met a meatloaf we didn’t love and this one is yummy and healthy filled with sweet potatoes! Sweet Potato Meatloaf is a perfect blend of ground turkey, sweet potatoes, and some mustard and spices.

Meatloaf is comfort food at its finest – but here’s what happens when you combine comfort and nutritious foods!  You get healthy & delicious!

This meatloaf is made with grated sweet potato and a scrumptious honey mustard topping that is perfect for family meals.

Kids will love this meatloaf. The sweet potato melts into the meat loaf leaving a sweet & savory taste that even kids will love.  Serve with some brown rice or just a vegetable loaded salad.

Don’t forget to make extra honey mustard sauce to drizzle over each serving of meatloaf and it’s also delicious over brown rice.

Let the sweet potatoes and onions cool before mixing. One trick to the best meatloaf is not to over mix the meat.

How to Keep Meatloaf Moist when Cooking?  Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients. For a moist meatloaf, form the meatloaf shape using your hands. Do not use a meatloaf pan but lay the meatloaf on a foil-lined baking sheet like below.

Spray a sheet of foil with nonstick spray and lay on a cookie sheet. Smooth out the meatloaf using the back of a spoon.

 




 

How Do you Keep Turkey Meatloaf from Falling Apart?

The binding ingredients of eggs and dried breadcrumbs helps to keep the meatloaf from falling apart after it’s had a chance to cool. If you enjoy your meatloaf a little firmer, add a touch more of the breadcrumbs.

Do you Cook Turkey Meatloaf Covered with Foil or Uncovered?

We always cook the meatloaf uncovered to give the outer part of the meatloaf a nice crust yet keeping the insides nice and juicy.
