Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or your preferred hot sauce)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Set aside for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumb mixture, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly to form a compact loaf.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps lock in the juices and makes it easier to cut.
