I love Meatloaf. Beef, Turkey, or a Chicken Meatloaf it really doesn’t matter to me. So easy to make in a pinch on a busy weeknight. And this Hoisin Glazed Turkey Meatloaf is no different.
This will allow the grease to run off into the pan. Since this meatloaf recipe uses Ground Turkey which is typically very lean, there aren’t any advantages to using one method over the other.

What is Hoisin Sauce
If you are not familiar with Hoisin Sauce, it’s a sweet Chinese sauce often used in stir-fries or to glaze the meat. It’s one of my favorite sauces and can also be used as a dipping sauce.
Meatloaf Temperature
Cooking time may vary from oven to oven so it’s best to ensure that the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F. This is the recommended temperature from the USDA.
Baking Meatloaf
When it comes to baking your meatloaf, you have a couple of options. You can bake it the traditional way in a loaf pan or bake it on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Depending on how lean your ground beef is, you may find the meatloaf sitting in grease. One way to avoid this is to shape the meat mixture into the shape of a loaf and bake it on a baking sheet. This will allow the grease to run off into the pan.
