Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.333 cup milk
• 1 small onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 0.333 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons 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

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

Use clean hands or a large spoon to gently mix everything until well combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar for the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
