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

  • 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)

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.

    raw meatloaf ingredients
  • 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.
