Best Turkey Meatloaf

Best Turkey Meatloaf

For a healthier turkey meatloaf, after much trial and error I came up with this recipe. It’s important to make this on a jelly-roll pan (rimmed baking sheet) so the liquids can be drained off. Also, don’t put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes; ground turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

Ingredients

Topping

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Meatloaf

  • 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
  • ¾ cup crushed buttery round crackers
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly-roll pan.

Step 2
Mix ground turkey, crushed crackers, milk, onion, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Shape mixture into a loaf and place on the prepared pan.

Step 3
Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.

Step 4
Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from the oven and drain off liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping.

Step 5
Return loaf to the oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
