Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground turkey
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Glaze: Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Glaze: Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Glaze: Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it evenly into a loaf shape.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

With about 10 minutes left in the cooking time, remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top for a sticky, flavorful finish.

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures moist, delicious slices.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
