Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground turkey
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh chopped Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit and absorb the milk for about 5 minutes.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, cooled onion and garlic mixture, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly shape the turkey mixture into a loaf on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
