Turkey Feta Meatloaf with Chipotle Glaze

I don't know about you, but I've become particularly fond of ground turkey.

I first started using ground turkey because it's a healthy alternative to beef, but now, 

it's because I just really enjoy the taste of it. 

I enjoy the  Turkey Feta Burger I make a lot, so I figured, why not a meatloaf. 

And that's how this happened. 

(Nice pan, right?) I covered the meatloaf with a simple Chipotle Glaze. 

All that goes into that is a few tablespoons of ketchup mixed with 

about a tsp of chipotle puree. 

Chipotle puree is something I keep in my fridge at all times. 

It's exactly as it sounds. I just puree a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in my food processor, and there you have it. Covered in the fridge, it keeps several months. 

I mix the puree with mayo, lime juice and some salt and pepper, and serve it has a 

spread for lots of different kinds of burgers, fish tacos and sandwiches. 

In fact, that's the way we ate this meatloaf. 

On buns with some of the chipotle/mayo spread I just talked about.  

Look at the feta, onions and peppers in this. So moist!!

I think adding dill pickle slices and some thinly sliced red onion would be really good.

Doesn't look like much but the flavor is out of this world. 

I would actually toast my bun with a little butter next time, but either way....delicious!
