Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup gluten-free BBQ sauce or ketchup for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and shredded carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes, then allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, sautéed vegetables, egg, unsweetened ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to gently mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, shaping it gently into an even loaf.
Brush the top of the meatloaf with gluten-free BBQ sauce or ketchup for added flavor and a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps retain its shape and juices.
Serve warm with your favorite gluten-free side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
