A Fusion of Flavor (17 Prime Ingredients)
- 3/4 cup fresh, plain, shredded/torn bread, crusts discarded
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium celery ribs, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste (3/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/3 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
- 2 large eggs, beaten until smooth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 1 pound ground turkey (preferably thigh meat)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Let's Get Cooking!
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a rack in the center. In a small bowl, soak the torn bread in milk; set aside. Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add celery, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they've softened and turned a rich golden hue, roughly 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until the raw taste has vanished, around 4 minutes more. Transfer this delightful mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the soaked bread, half of the roasted red peppers, parsley, eggs, Worcestershire, salt, mustard, and pepper to the freshly prepared vegetables, stirring until everything is combined evenly. Fold in the ground pork and turkey and, using clean hands, mix it all up (avoid squeezing or overworking).
- Form the meat mixture into a free-flowing loaf and transfer it into a 9-by-5 1/4-by-2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan (avoid pressing down too hard). Mix together the remaining roasted red pepper and ketchup and brush it over the top. Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake until the internal temperature is 150°F, around 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
