No reviews

A tender and flavorful meatloaf made with lean ground turkey, herbs, and a sweet-savory glaze—comfort food without the heaviness.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

½ cup breadcrumbs (or oats)

¼ cup milk

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg, beaten

2 Tbsp ketchup

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 Tbsp fresh parsley)

1 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

3 Tbsp ketchup

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a loaf pan (8×4-inch) or baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, soak breadcrumbs in milk until absorbed, about 2 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—do not overwork.

Shape into a loaf and place in prepared pan.

In another bowl, stir together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread glaze evenly over the top of the loaf.

Bake for 45–50 minutes, until internal temperature reads 165 °F (74 °C) at the center.

Let meatloaf rest 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Slice and serve warm—great with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a green salad.
