Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, shredded carrot
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey, chopped onion, shredded carrot, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the oats. Mix thoroughly using clean hands or a large spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly to form a compact loaf.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and Dijon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow it to firm up.

Step 9

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan, slice it into servings, and enjoy. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
