October 20th, 2020 from LindasRecipes.com

This is from Instant pot miracles.  Cooking time for the meatloaf in an instant pot is 1 hour and 10 minutes.  Seemed very long.  I have to say for a turkey meatloaf, it was very tasty.  

Ingredients:

8 oz. sliced bacon, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 C water

1 egg

2 T barbecue sauce

1 T chili powder

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 t black pepper

1 C cheddar cheese

1/2 C quick0cooking oats

1-1 1/4 # ground turkey

1/4 C barbecue sauce

Directions:

  1. Select sauté on the Instant Pot and adjust to normal.   When hot, add bacon and onion.  Cook until bacon is crisp and onion is tender and browned, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes.  Press cancel.  Transfer bacon and onion to a small bowl using a slotted spoon.  Carefully pour bacon grease from pot and discard.  Place trivet in pot.  Add the water to the pot.  
  2. For meatloaf, in a large bowl which together egg and the 2 T barbecue sauce, chili powder, garlic and pepper.  
  3. Stir in half the cheese and all the oats.  
  4. Add turkey and bacon mixture; mix well.  
  5. On a 12”X 8” piece of heavy foil shape meat mixture into an 8” long loaf in the center of the foil.  
  6. Holding the ends of the foil, lower the meatloaf down into the pot until is rests on the trivet.  
  7. Tuck foil into pot as needed to allow the lid to go on. Secure the lid on the pot.  Close  the pressure-release valve.    
  8. Select meat/stew and set the time for 1 hour and 10 minutes.  When cooking complete, use a natural release it depressurize.  
  9. Carefully remove meatloaf from the pot by lifting the ends of foil.  Transfer meatloaf to a platter.  Spoon the 1/4 C barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf.  Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C cheese.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.  

I served this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
