Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.3333 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix everything together until evenly combined, but do not overmix.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or press it into your loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to prepare the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape when served.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
