Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, softened breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined.
Move the turkey mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to form a loaf shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and Dijon mustard to create a glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the turkey meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
