Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground turkey
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Glaze: Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Glaze: Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Glaze: Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it evenly into a loaf shape.
In a small bowl, make the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
With about 10 minutes left in the cooking time, remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top for a sticky, flavorful finish.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures moist, delicious slices.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
