Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean, 93% lean or higher)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Milk (low-fat or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Carrot (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (divided)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak.
Add the ground turkey, egg, chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the soaked oats.
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf (if using a baking sheet).
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature 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 makes slicing easier.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
