Chicken and turkey are popular for being high in protein and low in saturated fats making a mealtime staple for athletes as well as in many healthy eating households. Falling back on the same old recipes starts to become mundane and a little too routine. Finding new ways to cook up the standard bird and keep it interesting (and keep your taste buds dancing) is time-consuming but in this series of recipes, I will highlight many different ways to prepare your poultry so your meal rotation is anything but boring. So whaddya say? Let’s play chicken!
Plain old meatloaf is plain old boring. I like to create a more flavorful meal by combining my main meat base with chorizo for a little kick. Chorizo purchased off the shelf often has less desirable ingredients in it and is typically made with ground pork. Making your own chorizo or purchasing from a butcher shop that doesn’t use preservatives and allows you to request the desired fat content is a good way to go. I prefer to make my own chorizo using a blend of spices so I know exactly what goes into my meal.
To make a chicken chorizo meatloaf, I’ve combined traditional chorizo spices with ground chicken. Using lean chicken or turkey for a meatloaf base significantly reduces the amount of saturated fat so you’ll notice that after you bake it, this meatloaf won’t be swimming in a pool of liquid grease that is common with traditional meatloaves. This little variation of meatloaf has a lot of bold flavors, some veggie value, and is topped with a Sriracha hot sauce to bring even more heat to your dinner table. Any leftovers are more flavorful the next day and make a tasty, easy sandwich filling or lettuce wrap for lunch.
