Description
A classic and delicious turkey meatloaf recipe that’s easy to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner. This recipe features a savory turkey mixture topped with a sweet and tangy glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey (93/7 lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ⅓ cup ketchup, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- For the glaze:
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, parsley, beaten eggs, ⅓ cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan or on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the glaze ingredients: ⅓ cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
- Brush half of the glaze over the top and sides of the turkey loaf.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze.
- Continue to bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a tender meatloaf, avoid overmixing the ingredients.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Resting the meatloaf before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moister loaf.
