The glaze is a mixture of ketchup, bbq, soy sauce and few other things you probably have in your cupboard. Keeping it easy for ya!

And let me tell ya,if you think taking pictures of meatloaf is easy…then you have never taken pictures of meatloaf!

This recipe was one of the first half dozen or so recipes I published on my blog back in the stone age. My family actually ate most of itbeforeI remembered to take some photos. Such a newbie! But I had no idea anybody but my Mom would be looking at this site. Things have changed quite a bit! Here is a snippet of the picture…I know, I know, I know…ugh. It’s amazing anyone ever came back after viewing this lovely little meat nugget…

Enjoyed that walk down memory lane…not. The only thing that gives me comfort is to knowthat this is a super flavorful recipe, especially when you are tired of regular old meatloaf!

To meat nuggets…sorry, not sorry!

Clink!

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken I used 93/7% fat
1 pound ground chicken sausage we prefer chicken but pork is fine too
1/2 cup panko crumbs
1 egg
1 tablespoon ginger, fresh grated or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce prefer low sodium
1/2 cup onion, chopped I used the whites of green onions and saved the tops for garnish
1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped 8 oz can, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

For Glaze

1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with non stick spray.
Combine all meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl. (excluding glaze ingredients). Your hands are your best tools for this!
Add to prepared loaf pan.
Combine your glaze ingredients in a small bowl Pour over uncooked meatloaf and spread evenly.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Notes

We prefer to use ground chicken or turkey 93/7 or 95/5 fat content. The all white ground chicken or turkey is a bit dry.

Serve with a simple side of steamed veggies like broccoli or these delicious Honey Glazed Carrots!

  Hi Helen – I really can’t think of a substitute for water chestnuts. I would just omit them, will still be delish!

I made this tonight and it was really good! However I made a few changes. For the meatloaf I did a Turkey/pork sausage mixture, regular soy sauce (so I didn’t add extra salt), used 4 cloves of garlic, the ginger I used was from a squeezy tube, and I added one grated carrot.
For the glaze I used the same ginger and probably put in more than asked, and I used 1/8 oyster sauce & 1/8 bbq sauce.

I made this meatloaf tonight using ground chicken only. I also added chopped mushrooms and shredded carrots and chopped cilantro. I served it with rice and sautéed snap peas. I also made some Wasabi mayo to serve with it as well. DELISCIOUS!

A nice spin on meatloaf. No salt was necessary with the 1/4 cup soy sauce and the mild Italian sausage I had to use already had salt included. Gonna be great for a cold meatloaf sandwich tomorrow. Big meatloaf fan here.

This was very good..I agree use low sodium
Soy sauce omit the added salt. I went a bit extra on fresh ginger & used sweet onions.
Yummo! Will make again.

  Hi Helen – boy thats a tough one. I honestly can’t think of anything that will give you that flavor and crunch. Any veggie like celery (which is what I was thinking of using), will get soft during cooking. Just omit and make the recipe. It will still be delicious!

I tried this tonight for the first time (had to convert the Fahrenheit to Celsius and pounds to metric – thanks Google! LOL). I was nervous because I have never made a meatloaf before and only had my mum’s amazing tasty BBQ beef meatloaf to compare mine with. Well – I am so happy! Hubby and I absolutely loved this! Very delicious and the crunch of the water chestnuts added an extra element that elevated the texture beyond the typical meatloaf.
I served it with a rice noodle, vege and herb (corriander/cilantro and mint) thai flavored salad.
This chicken meatloaf is definitely a new favourite of ours.
Thanks so much for the recipe.
