Unbelievably Moist Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
The Moist Turkey Meatloaf Recipe is a healthy twist on classic meatloaf. Instead of beef, it uses ground turkey, which is lean and light.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Glaze
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven
- Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Mix ingredients
- In a bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix gently.
Step 3: Shape loaf
- Place mixture in a greased loaf pan. Shape into a smooth loaf.
Step 4: Make glaze
- In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Spread half on top of the loaf.
Step 5: Bake
