Meatloaf and Brown Gravy
This Meatloaf recipe with Brown Gravy is a family favorite, made a bit healthier than most with a mix of beef and ground turkey plus oats, topped with a delicious brown gravy – comfort food at its finest!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (chopped fine)
- 2 medium celery stalks (minced fine)
- 1 1/2 pounds 90% lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 cup fat free milk
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups raw quick oats
Beef Gravy: (makes 3 cups)
- 1/4 cup all purpose or gluten-free flour
- 3 cups salted beef broth or stock
- 1 thyme sprig
- fresh black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper or foil on a sheet pan.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine the beef, turkey, parsley, thyme, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Add the onion mixture and the oats and combine with clean hands until mixed well.
- Form into 1 long or 2 smaller rectangle loafs. Bake 50 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the middle reads 160 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, when the meatloaf is almost ready, combine the cold beef broth, thyme and flour in a small saucepan and whisk well over medium heat until it comes to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until it thickens, stirring occasionally about 5 minutes.
- Pour the pan drippings, if any into the gravy and continue to whisk another minute. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, as needed, then discard thyme.
- Slice the loaf into 24 slices (if making 1, or 12 slices each if making this into 2 loaves) and serve hot with the gravy. Garnish with parsley if desired.
