Servings: 7 (3 oz)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Water, for the Pressure Cooker
Meatloaf Mixture
- 2 lbs 85% Lean Ground Turkey (or 93% lean)
- ½ cup Bread Crumbs (seasoned, or Panko)
- 2 Tablespoons Dehydrated Onion (or ½ cup of fresh, finely diced)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Coarse Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder (or 3 cloves pressed fresh)
- ½ teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
- ½ cup Whole Milk
- 2 Eggs
- ⅓ cup Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
Glaze Topping
- ½ cup Ketchup
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
Instructions
- Mix all of the meatloaf ingredients together and combine thoroughly (Note that it is 2 lbs of meat).
- Put 1 ½ cups of water in the Instant Pot, and put the trivet/steamer rack into the pot.
- Place the meat mixture on a piece of foil and form it into a rounded loaf shape (not a ball), making it an even thickness end to end (not too thick), for cooking consistency.
- Grab the foil by the opposite corners, like a sling, and lift the meatloaf into the pot and set it on the rack. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button or dial, and use the +/- button to adjust the cook time to 35 minutes.
- When the cooking cycle is finished, and the unit beeps, just leave it to do a natural pressure release of 10 minutes. Then turn the steam release knob to venting and do a manual release of the remaining pressure.
- Before you take the meatloaf out, do 2 things.First, take the internal temperature of the meatloaf and make sure it is 160°F-165°F.Second, use a small knife to poke a few holes in the foil, and the drippings will drain to the water below. I don't like to do this before the meatloaf cooks because I think I get a juicier meatloaf this way. My personal preference.
- Grasp two opposite ends of the foil (or use trivet handles) and carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pot and onto a baking tray.
- Turn on broiler to 450° F. Rack in the middle.
- Mix together glaze topping ingredients and spread it all over the meatloaf. Put it under the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the topping. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.½ cup Ketchup, ¼ cup Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Mustard
- Serve it with a side of potatoes or rice, a veggie or salad, and you'll have a great meal!
