Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, milk, sautéed onion mixture, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it evenly into the shape of a loaf.
If desired, spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or a crisp salad.
