A delicious and healthier twist on classic meatloaf, this grilled BBQ meatloaf foil pack is made with lean ground turkey and packed with flavor. The individual foil packs make for easy grilling and cleanup, while the smoky BBQ essence enhances the overall taste.

Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey. 1/2 cup oats. 1/4 cup grated carrots. 1/4 cup diced onions. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup BBQ sauce sugar-free. 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. 1 tsp dried oregano. 1 tsp smoked paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. Olive oil cooking spray. Fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, oats, grated carrots, diced onions, minced garlic, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into individual portions and shape them into small loaves. Place each meatloaf onto a piece of heavy-duty foil, shaping the foil to create a pack for each meatloaf. Spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. Fold and seal the foil packs securely, leaving room for heat circulation. Grill the foil packs for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C. Carefully open the foil packs, allowing any steam to escape, and grill the meatloaves for an additional 5 minutes to add a smoky flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy grilled BBQ meatloaf!
