1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Spray the loaf pan lightly with cooking spray then transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Alternatively, you can shape it by hand and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
