Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Water
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 ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, parsley, oregano, egg, minced garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to gently mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense texture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape into a loaf approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches wide if placing on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste and water to create a glaze. Brush the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to set.
Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or your favorite grain for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
