🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1.5 pounds Ground turkey
• 2 cups Mashed potatoes (prepared, preferably cooled)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves 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 Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, mashed potatoes, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until well blended.

4. If the mixture seems too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. The mixture should be moist but firm enough to hold its shape.

5. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it’s evenly spread.

6. Spread the remaining ketchup (1/4 cup) over the top of the meatloaf to create a glaze.

7. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).

8. Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

9. Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board, slice, and serve. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
