Method
Prepare the Meatloaf
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Cook for 8-10 minutes until vegetables are softened and onion is translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground turkey. Add the cooled vegetable mixture, matzo meal, beaten eggs, beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
- Using clean hands, gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix or the meatloaf will be dense. The mixture should hold together but still look a bit rough.
- Transfer the meat mixture to your prepared baking sheet and shape into a loaf about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide, or press into your loaf pan if using.
Make the Glaze and Bake
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Bake the meatloaf for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and brush the top and sides with half of the glaze mixture.
- Return to oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
- Brush with remaining glaze and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and makes slicing cleaner.
Notes
Leftover meatloaf keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and makes excellent sandwiches. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months. If you don't have matzo meal, you can substitute with fine breadcrumbs, but matzo meal gives better texture. For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meat mixture.
