Ingredients

For the vegetables:

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced
  • 3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed
  • 1 large shallot diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh black pepper to taste

For the turkey meatloaf:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
  • 6 tablespoons barbecue sauce divided, plus more, to taste, for serving
  • 1/4 cup onions minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

Directions

  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • On a flat surface, lay out four (10x18-inch) pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • In a medium bowl, add the corn kernels, the red bell peppers, the edamame, the shallots, the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and the black pepper and stir well to combine.
  • Evenly divide the vegetable mixture between the four prepared pieces of foil, placing each portion of the vegetable mixture in the center of each piece of foil.
  • In a medium bowl, add the ground turkey, the oatmeal, 3 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce, the onions, the egg, the remaining salt, and the marjoram and mix well to combine.
  • Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a 4x2 1/2-inch loaf.
  • Place 1 of the meatloaves on top of each of the vegetable mixtures on the foil.
  • Brush 3 tablespoons of the remaining barbecue sauce evenly over the meatloaves.
  • Bring the long sides of the foil up so the ends meet over the loaves.
  • Double-fold the ends while allowing room for heat to circulate inside the foil.
  • Double-fold the two short ends to seal the foil packet tight so no steam escapes.
  • Place the foil packets over direct heat on the grill and let them cook for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the foil packets to indirect heat and cook until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Transfer the foil packets from the grill and carefully open them.
  • Serve with the extra barbecue sauce.
