🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean or more)
• 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons Ketchup (low-sugar, optional, for topping)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, rolled oats, egg, onion, grated carrot, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to gently mix all ingredients together until well combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches wide, if using a baking sheet.

5. If desired, spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf for additional flavor and moisture.

6. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).

7. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

8. Serve warm with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or your favorite healthy sides.
