Turkey Meatloaf

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups finely chopped yellow onion (1 medium)
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic (3 cloves)
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs homemade or store-bought*
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (1.4 oz) finely shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp ketchup, divided
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp Salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs. 93% lean ground turkey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and saute until slightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
  • Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl stir together bread crumbs and chicken broth.
  • Add cooked onion mixture to bread crumb mixture and stir. Transfer to fridge to let cool completely about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • To cooled mixture add parmesan, Worcestershire, 1 Tbsp ketchup, the dijon, parsley, thyme, egg, egg yolk, salt(you can season with a little more if you want it a little saltier) and pepper. Stir mixture to blend well.
  • Add ground turkey and using your hands toss and mix until well combined.
  • Shape mixture into a 9 by 4-inch loaf on prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil.
  • Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes. Remove meatloaf and brush with remaining 1/3 cup ketchup.
  • Return to oven and bake until center registers 165 (I recommend taking temperature in every 1/3 area of the loaf), about 10 to 20 minutes longer.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little more parsley (about 1/2 Tbsp) and cut into slices. Serve warm.
