Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.3333 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Add the ground turkey, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix everything together until evenly combined, but do not overmix.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or press it into your loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to prepare the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape when served.
Slice and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
