Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground turkey
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
