About

It's camp-out flavor without the camping! For some indoor enthusiasts, that's a win-win! Fireside Meatloaf is prepared in a foil packet (classic outdoors style) and grilled to achieve that same open-flame effect! The result is obvious when you unwrap each packet — savory, juicy, barbecue-delicious meatloaves with tender and refreshing vegetables! Fireside Meatloaf brings the adventure to your table, rather than the other way around!

Ingredients

  • For the vegetables:
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh black pepper, to taste
  • For the turkey meatloaf:
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
  • 6 tablespoons barbecue sauce, divided, plus more, to taste, for serving
  • 1/4 cup onions, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the grill to high heat.

Step 2 -On a flat surface, lay out four (10x18-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Step 3 -In a medium bowl, add the corn kernels, the red bell peppers, the edamame, the shallots, the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and the black pepper and stir well to combine.

Step 4 -Evenly divide the vegetable mixture between the four prepared pieces of foil, placing each portion of the vegetable mixture in the center of each piece of foil.

Step 5 -In a medium bowl, add the ground turkey, the oatmeal, 3 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce, the onions, the egg, the remaining salt, and the marjoram and mix well to combine.

Step 6 -Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a 4x2 1/2-inch loaf.

Step 7 -Place 1 of the meatloaves on top of each of the vegetable mixtures on the foil.

Step 8 -Brush 3 tablespoons of the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the meatloaves.

Step 9 -Bring the long sides of the foil up so the ends meet over the loaves.

Step 10 -Double-fold the ends while allowing room for heat to circulate inside the foil.

Step 11 -Double-fold the two short ends to seal the foil packet tight so no steam escapes.

Step 12 -Place the foil packets over direct heat on the grill and let them cook for 10 minutes.

Step 13 -Transfer the foil packets to indirect heat and cook until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20-25 minutes.

Step 14 -Transfer the foil packets from the grill and carefully open them.

Step 15 -Serve with the extra barbecue sauce.
