Korean Glazed Smoked Turkey Meatloaf

My Korean Glazed Smoked Turkey Meatloaf is so tasty. It gains its unique flavor from the Americana smoke technique and the Korean gochujang.

Ingredients

  • 3 LBs Ground Turkey
  • 1 Whole Red Onion diced
  • 3 Stalks Celery diced
  • 3 Whole Carrots diced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Cumin divided
  • 2 Tsp Ancho chili power
  • 2 Tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Salt divided
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh ground balck pepper divided
  • 2 Tsp Oaxaca - ancho coffee rub

Glaze

  • 1/2 Cup Korean BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Tomato sauce
  • 3 Tbsp gochujang

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add in the onion, celery and carrots. Cook for 2 minutes before adding in the spices (reserving about 1/2 of the cumin, salt & pepper). Cook for another 2 - 3 minutes until softened but still holding a bite.  Remove from heat and let cool.

    Now, add the remaining spices to the ground turkey with the vegetable mix.  Mix really well and form into a loaf.

    Place the loaf on a big piece of aluminum foil and place in a 250 degree smoker. Total cooking time will be approximately 3 hours. In the last half hour of cooking, remove the foil and place the meatloaf directly on the grates. Next, liberally apply the glaze a couple of times before removing from the smoker.

    Let rest for 5 minutes.  Cut in slices.

    Serve and enjoy!
