Turkey Meatloaf
This turkey meatloaf is not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Using ground turkey makes it leaner than traditional meatloaf, and the addition of herbs and seasonings brings out the flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, diced onion, ketchup, beaten egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If desired, spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
This healthy turkey meatloaf pairs perfectly with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, making it a balanced meal you and your family will love. Enjoy!
