Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground turkey
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
