¾ lb (12 oz) 95% lean ground beef
¾ lb (12 oz) extra lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O brand)
½ cup chopped onion
5 tablespoons barbecue sauce, divided (I used Stubb’s Original)
1 tablespoon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
12 fat free saltine crackers, crushed into crumbs
1 large egg
8 strips raw turkey bacon (I used Oscar Meyer brand)
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the beef and turkey and mush together with clean hands until combined. Add the onion, 3 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, saltine crumbs and egg and lightly mix together. Do not over handle.
Transfer the meat mixture to the lined baking sheet and form into a 9” x 5” loaf. Lay the strips of bacon in a row to cover the top of the meatloaf, each one slightly overlapping the piece before it. Tuck the ends of the bacon strips underneath the bottom of the meatloaf. Using a silicone pastry brush, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce over the entire loaf. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until your meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Cut into 12 even slices and serve.
