Ground Turkey: Using turkey is a great way to cut calories but retain amazing flavor in your meatloaf!Onion: I add a bit of chopped onion to my meatloaf for flavor and texture. I used a white onion in this recipe for a sweeter flavor.Fresh Parsley: A little chopped parsley will make your entire meatloaf flavorful and aromatic.Italian Bread Crumbs: I love using Italian bread crumbs because they come pre-seasoned. If you only have Panko bread crumbs at home, those will work too! You can add in a little homemade Italian seasoning to get the same effect.Worcestershire Sauce: Worcestershire sauce adds a punch of rich flavor with a hint of tang to your turkey meatloaf. Eggs: Added to bind everything together.Garlic Powder: You can’t go wrong with garlic! This will make your meatloaf nice and savory.Salt and Pepper: Add to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Meatloaf Glaze
Ketchup: This is the base of the glaze. It gives it a nice thick texture and sweetness.Balsamic Vinegar: I add a little balsamic vinegar for tang.Brown Sugar: Adds a rich sweetness and caramelized flavor once baked.
Let’s Make Some Meatloaf!
It only takes 3 simple steps to make this amazing turkey meatloaf. It turns out amazing every time with minimal effort! Your family is going to love it!
Don’t Overmix: Be sure to combine your meatloaf mixture with a gentle hand and do not overmix. Your meatloaf won’t turn out as tender.Glaze Variatons: For a glaze with more zip, add dijon or honey mustard. If you want a little heat, you can whisk in a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.Sautée Vegetables: When you expect your meatloaf to be nice and tender but you get a bite of crunchy onions, it can be a little off-putting. If you want to make sure your vegetables are soft and caramelized, you can gently sautée them before adding to your mixture.Rest Before Serving: The key to avoiding a dry meatloaf is to let it rest after you take it out of the oven. This allows all the flavors to infuse and absorb before you cut into it.
