Skillet Harissa Turkey Meatloaf is a dinner game changer. Making meatloaf in the skillet is perfect for busy weeknights because it’s ready in less than 30 minutes!
I took my basic turkey meatloaf recipe, and swapped the ketchup for jarred Mina Harrisa (or you can use homemade). I also added shredded zucchini to the mix and made them in the skillet. The results were juicy, quick, delicious round meatloaves with a little kick! I served it with a simple chopped cucumber and tomato salad which I tossed with a little olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.
You can purchase Mina Harissa on Amazon and Whole Foods carries it as well, it’s a bright red Moroccan condiment that can be used with couscous, vegetables, meats or whatever you want.
If you prefer to make this in the oven as a large loaf, you can! Bake it at 350°F for 1 hour.
