This Caribbean Meatloaf recipe puts a tropical spin on a classic comfort food. By mixing in crushed pineapple and mango chutney, this savory meatloaf becomes a sweet and spicy masterpiece. The use of quick oats or old fashioned oats instead of breadcrumbs makes it a healthier version than traditional meatloaf. You can also swap ground beef for turkey to reduce the calorie and fat content. This recipe is perfect for a hearty and healthy dinner when served with a side of roasted vegetables.

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2.In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef or turkey, oats, onion, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Caribbean jerk seasoning until well combined.
3.Drain the crushed pineapple and add it to the meat mixture, along with 2 tablespoons of the mango chutney and the jalapeno pepper if using. Mix everything together until well combined.
4.Press the meat mixture into the prepared baking pan, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through.
5.In a small bowl, mix together the remaining mango chutney and fresh mint or cilantro. Spread the mixture over the top of the meatloaf and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned.
