Everyone needs an easy turkey meatloaf recipe. Emeril shared his ketchup-topped version with Martha. It comes from his book, " Emeril 20-40-60."

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground turkey, preferably 85 percent lean/15 percent fat, or a mix of ground breast and thigh meat
⅔ cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup chopped red or green bell pepper
½ cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
⅓ cup chopped celery
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack positioned in center of oven.
Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 1 tablespoon ketchup, garlic, Essence, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until ingredients are well combined. Transfer turkey mixture to a 1-pound loaf pan; form into a domed loaf shape.
Place remaining ketchup in a small bowl; stir in hot sauce. Spoon ketchup mixture evenly over meatloaf, spreading with the back of a spoon.
Bake until meatloaf is browned on top, cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving.
