Description
A comforting and flavorful turkey meatloaf that combines ground turkey, sautéed onions, garlic, and mushrooms, topped with ketchup for a delicious finish.
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 ¼ lbs of ground turkey (90% lean)
- 8 oz of finely chopped mushrooms
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup of milk
- 2 lightly beaten eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons ketchup (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking pan with foil, lightly oiling it.
- Cook chopped onions in oil until softened (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until mushrooms are dry.
- Mix the cooled mushroom mixture with Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons of ketchup. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with milk, stirring until incorporated.
- Add the breadcrumb mixture to the mushroom blend, along with the lightly beaten eggs and ground turkey. Gently mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a meatloaf on the prepared pan and top with the remaining ketchup.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs or spices like parsley, thyme, or smoked paprika. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
