Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground turkey
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup, plus extra for glazing
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring all spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the turkey mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of the loaf to create a flavorful glaze.
Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey loaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Once fully cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
Slice the Turkey Loaf into even portions and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a wholesome meal.
