Turkey Meatloaf
A tender, juicy turkey meatloaf bursting with flavor, made with ground turkey, breadcrumbs, vegetables, and spices. It's a health-conscious twist on the classic beef meatloaf that's perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup ketchup for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready when your meatloaf is formed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Using your hands (or a spoon if you're not fond of getting messy), mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix, or your meatloaf could become tough.
- Transfer the mixture to a lined or greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf shape.
- Brush the top with ketchup for a beautiful glaze that adds sweetness and moisture.
- Place your loaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
