Hatch chili turkey meatloaf. This idea popped into my head a few days ago. Last minute I decided enchilada sauce would be good as a glaze. Didn’t have any homemade so had to use canned. Originally I planned doing my typical right in the grate cook but I wanted the mix to be a bit loose for moisture so I kept it in the pan. I cranked up the temp a bit as I was in a bit of a time crunch and ran the Weber at 400°f. Load hit 165° after 44 minutes.

2 pounds ground Turkey
2 tins of hatch chilies (1 hot 1 regular)
1 onion chopped and sautéed (reserve 1/4 cup for glaze)
3 table spoons homemade taco seasoning
1 egg (was going to add two but went with one)
Bread crumbs (added until I got the consistency I wanted probably 1/2 cupish)
1 can enchilada sauce
Grated cheese for topper (optional)

Chop and sauté onion and allow to cook then mix everything together. I planned on using the foil pan to cook in so I mixed everything right in it. That was nice no bowl to clean.

Onto the Weber set at 400°f. Cook until internal temp hits 165°f. Apply glaze and cheese cook for 5 minutes more.

I reserved some of the chopped onion to put in the enchilada sauce. While the loaf was cooking I simmered the sauce and onion until it reduced by almost half for the glaze.

Yeah, that looks amazing. Well done.

My only suggestion would be to get some 505's. Being a native New Mexican and self-proclaimed green chile fiend, these are my go to. Much better than the normal canned and have far less skin pieces in them which is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I keep them in my fridge like pickles. They were in Walmart stores in OKC but I have to order them here in Georgia.

Typically we have roasted hatch chilies Vac packed and frozen. We buy a case during the season and roast them. This year we didn’t so now just canned. We’ll look for the 505 brand.
