Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, homemade from good soft and sweet bread
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups herb and oil marinated sun-dried tomatoes, pureed in a food processor, plus oil for griddle, preferably with garlic, herbs and dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
- Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl, reserving 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomato puree. Form the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to a baking dish. Cover and bake until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Spread the reserved puree on top, then return it to the oven, and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes.
- When ready to serve, heat up a little oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a nonstick skillet or griddle. Cut the meatloaf into about 1-inch slices and add to the skillet. Crisp on both sides for an extra layer of texture.

Reviews
This recipe is FANTASTIC! Flavorful, moist, easy, and perfect as written. Claire hits another one out of the park! Oh how I miss her….
Delicious and easy. My kids really love it!
I thought this was delicious!! I love the sundried tomatoes they add so much wonderful flavor without adding too many other ingredients. Love Claire and her show I’m sad theres no new episodes and why don’t they play it anymore ?? Bring it back foodnetwork!!!!!
I had to depart from the recipe. I thought I would reduce it and bought 1 1/2 lbs white and dark grd turkey. I got a jar of marinated tomatoes, but when I pureed it, it was way too little. So I added what I had – a jar of roasted red pepper bruchetta and pureed that. Then, I had so much puree, I needed to increase the meat, so I added 1/2 lb of mild Italian Turkey sausage I had on hand. I added 2 tsp garlic, half a carrot, grated, and about 1/2 c grated parmesan, per another reviewer, too. It was very, very flavorful, and so different from my usual, which is also excellent. I appreciate when others post things they add — it tells me whether it works. That’s why I’m posting this!
Made it and it was amazing.
I loved this turkey meatloaf all the family said is a keeper thank you Claire good job…..
I was watching to food network and when Claire was making this recipe, I couldn’t stop watching; the dish just looked easy to make and really delicious. I made the meatloaf for my husband and father one night and they just couldn’t believe how delicious the ground turkey was. I tweaked the recipe by adding sun dried tomatoes not packed in oil, used 1 cup of breadcrumbs and placed in a grill proof pan and cooked it on the grill, so easy, delicious, and little clean up. I served it with the leek and corn orzo, yum.
I love this recipe, my family hated meatloaf until I starting using this recipe. Every time I make it there is none left.
The meatloaf is outrageously good! The sun dried tomato puree gives it such an amazingly deep flavor. My fiance calls it ‘grown up’ meatloaf. I wavered slightly from the 5 ingredients and added a bit of Parmesan cheese into the mix as well as a few cloves of crushed garlic, which only gave the meatloaf that much more complexity. I’ve made this recipe a couple of times and I actually prefer not to crisp it on the stove, I think that it’s great already once it comes from the oven. Next time I might try making it in a mini-muffin tin! Thanks again, Claire Robinson for another winning and easy dinner recipe.
I followed the recipe exactly. (I used the 99% lean ground turkey. Delicious!
