Before we roll up our sleeves and get cookin’, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this fabulous BBQ Turkey Meatloaf:
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (make sure it’s gluten-free!)

Cooking Instructions That Even Your Pet Could Follow!
Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up like good little soldiers, it’s time for action! Here’s how you bring this meatloaf magic to life:
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a loaf pan. Your meatloaf is going to make itself right at home in there!
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, ½ cup of BBQ sauce, eggs, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. You can use your hands—just make sure they’re clean! That’s the secret to a good meatloaf.
- Once everything is mixed thoroughly (you’re aiming for a sticky situation!), shape it into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan.
- Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the top of the meatloaf like you’re frosting a cake. Because why not make a savory dessert? We’re all about breaking boundaries here!
- Now, pop it in the oven and let it cook for about 50-60 minutes. Your kitchen is about to smell amazing, so maybe open a window if you have nosy neighbors!
- Once it’s cooked and has an internal temperature of 165°F (use a meat thermometer if you’ve got one), take it out and let it rest for a few minutes. This is the hardest part—trust me!
- Slice, serve, and bask in the glory of your BBQ Turkey Meatloaf conquest!
