Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup low-sodium ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed for greasing cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg whites, and unsweetened applesauce.
Add the rolled oats, low-sodium ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well-combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to ensure an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a food thermometer.
Once fully cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
