Take a rough chop to the banana peppers.
-
3
At least quarter them.
-

This will ensure that you do not get giant flashes of pepper, but subtle hints.

Next mince down a clove of garlic.
-

For this recipe, two cloves would not be too dangerous, either.

Throw the peppers and the garlic into a bowl and add the egg, enchilada sauce and tomato sauce.
-

Roughly mix a little.

Its dry ingredient time.
-
13
Throw together a couple of tablespoons of oats and breadcrumbs.
-
14
The oats seemed a little off to me, but they really add oomph by taking away some of the herbaciousness of the breadcrumbs, letting the turkey flavor shine more.
-
15
Cumin and oregano are really the only spices you need for this.
-
16
Pre-1: WAIT we forgot to ... preheat the oven to 350 degrees .

Moving on ... lets grab the ground turkey.

Mix together the ground turkey until a uniform texture.

Now grab a 9 x 13 pan.
-
23
Since this is a for two recipe, you might want to grab just two mini pans, whatever your preference.

-
25
Evenly spread throughout the pan.
-
26
I also made some divots into the turkey for more sauce to form in certain areas.
-
27
Throw in to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Time to make the sauce.
-

Start with 1/4 cup of tomato sauce.
-

-
32
Throw in a tablespoon of ketchup.

Next add the hot sauce.
-
35
I use Louisiana or Franks but feel free to use Tabasco.
-
36
But it should be a vinegar-based hot sauce.
-
37

-
38
After 30 minutes, pour about 90 % of the sauce over the meatloaf.
-
39
Cover with tinfoil and throw back in for another 30 minutes.
-

You might want to uncover and crank up the heat for about 10 minutes to dry out the top as mine was probably a little soupier than I would have liked it.
-
41
And there you have it.

An extremely easy smoky chipotle turkey meatloaf.
