Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup additional ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped mushrooms and diced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms release their moisture. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooled mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press down gently to even the surface. Spread the additional 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meatloaf moist.
Slice and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
