Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely grated)
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated apple, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 3
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until they are well combined but be careful not to overmix to keep the loaf tender.
Step 4
Transfer the turkey mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press down gently to shape it evenly.
Step 5
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the turkey loaf using a spoon or spatula.
Step 6
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Carefully slice the turkey loaf and serve warm with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or a green salad.
