🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1.5 pounds Ground turkey (preferably 93% lean)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing pan)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

3. In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soften.

4. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, softened breadcrumb mixture, and the egg. Mix gently to combine.

5. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme to the meat mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure the meatloaf stays tender.

6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly and shaping the top to form an even layer.

7. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

8. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist and tender meatloaf.

9. Slice and serve the turkey meatloaf with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
