Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix until well incorporated.
Add in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue mixing until everything is evenly distributed, but be careful not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it evenly.
Spread the additional 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meatloaf moist.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
