Jarlsberg Mushroom Turkey Meatloaf

By 20 Comments

Jarlsberg-Mushroom-Turkey-Meatloaf

Some things are just very nostalgic.

Say for example, meatloaf.

I’m sure everyone remembers some good and some not so good meatloaf from their childhoods.

When meatloaf is good, it’s GOOD!

This turkey meatloaf with mushrooms is made even better with the addition of Jarlsberg Cheese, and it is SO GOOD! SO so so so good! The mushrooms and turkey are complimented perfectly by the sweet, nutty and buttery flavor of the Jarlsberg Cheese.

And speaking of Jarlsberg cheese, that is something super nostalgic for me as well. My mom would go to these little specialty stores that had all sorts of cheese and would bring home Jarlsberg cheese for us. It soon became a favorite of mine, and now whenever there’s an event (say, Valentines day) my hubby knows how much I love it and puts together a little cheese board!

Jarlsberg cheese is a  part-skim cow’s milk cheese with a sweet, nutty and buttery flavor and large “eyes” or holes.

Jarlsberg cheese shredded

To make this deliciousness you’re going to add shredded Jarlsberg cheese to the meatloaf and then top it with MORE Jarlsberg. It forms a cheesy crust on the meatloaf when done baking. I served mine with mashed potatoes and green beans from the farmers market.

Who is ready for meatloaf night?

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Inactive Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pint mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 (1.25 lb) lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 4 oz Jarlsberg cheese (2.5 oz of the cheese shredded, 1.5 oz of the cheese sliced)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small frying pan melt the butter, then cook the mushrooms and onion for 5 minutes, until onions start to become translucent. Drain liquid from the pan (I do this over a colander).
  • In a bowl combine all ingredients (ground turkey, bread crumbs, shredded cheese, garlic cloves, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and salt) and then add the mushroom and onions. Mix until everything is combined (I use clean hands to mix and make sure everything is combined.)
  • Press into loaf pan, and then cover top of meatloaf with slices of Jarlsberg cheese.
  • Bake for 55 minutes, remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then slice and serve!

    • Notes

    I serve this meatloaf with green beans that I saute in some olive oil with salt and pepper and mashed potatoes that I make out of boiled potatoes, mashed with greek yogurt, a little bit of sour cream, 1/4 cup skim milk and 1 tbs of butter and a dash of salt.

      I’ve got to say I’m not usually a big fan of meatloaf, but with turkey, mushrooms and cheese, this isn’t the meatloaf my mother used to make. I can’t wait to give it a try!
