healthier turkey meatloaf in the instant pot
This turkey meatloaf is really delicious. It's healthier because it's using the more lean ground breast meat, but it's so good because of the sautéed veg and other flavor-enhancing ingredients, that you won't think of it as a "healthy" or "diet" meal.

How To Make healthier turkey meatloaf in the instant pot
-
Step 1Pinch bread apart and put into a small bowl. Add almond milk and press down, soaking the bread.
-
Step 2Small-dice the carrot, onion, bell pepper, and celery.
-
Step 3Turn Instant Pot pressure cooker on, to Sauté, and let get hot.
-
Step 4Add half of the butter and oil; add the veg, and sauté until beginning to caramelize, adding more butter and oil as needed, to keep from burning.
-
Step 5Turn IP off; pour sautéed veg into a large bowl.
-
Step 6Add turkey, soaked bread, egg, A1, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and peppers to veg in bowl; gently mix.
-
Step 7Put 1.5 cups of water in IP liner pot. Put IP trivet in IP liner pot.
-
Step 8*Make a sling using heavy duty aluminum foil, to go between the IP trivet and the bowl/pot the meatloaf is going to go in. This will allow easy removal of food bowl from the IP. *Make another sling, this one a wide one, to go between the meatloaf and the bowl/pot you're putting it in; this will allow easier removal of loaf from its cooking vessel.
-
Step 9Place mixed meat onto the foil sling in an oven-safe bowl or pot; lower down onto the foil sling on the IP trivet.
-
Step 10Put lid on IP, locking it in place; make sure the vent is to the sealing position.
-
Step 11Turn IP on Manual, to 20 minutes. When finished cooking, let pressure release naturally.
-
Step 12Using the trivet sling, remove the meatloaf bowl/pot.
-
Step 13Using the loaf sling, gently raise the loaf, tilting to pour off any grease, then slide off the sling, back into the bowl/pot.
